Abosolutely, Paul,
I keep my modeling liciense and my round toits in the same sleeve in my wallet. I always renew the modeling liciense before it expires. Of course the round toits never go out of date.
Have Fun,
Tom Watkins

The link does not work, it appears to be a path to a file on your personal computer (it shows up in my reply window). It doesn't work that way - you have to post something on a website and then post the link.

A Modeller's License sounds like a great item for next April's MR. Any of the staff reading this?

We need to make modeler's licences- something humorous.
Don't tell the state of Minnesota, thought. Uncle Tim'll slap 4 year renewals on it, make you take eye/hearing exams, and charge you $37.50 for it.
Good times.

David,

How bout you get a Modeler's License suitable for framing with each subscription? Maybe you could check a box on the subscription form that would include whose signature you'd like on yours. Or make it something you could order from Kalmbach via their website. I'd love to have one hanging on my wall!

I may just play with some programs on my computer and see if I can get a good Diesel pic and shrink it to fit and put in some wording for a license.

And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010

I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

Hey wait a minute, why should Modeler's Licenses be good just for diseasel fans? We steam fans need to legitimize our efforts too! [:D]

Ed,
You are so right.... my apologies. But, you see, I am a diesel fan as that is what I run on my layout. Now, please feel free to do as I am, but with steam!!

You should have received your modeler's license in the first kit that you purchased. I just had mine renewed last week!

They'd better check the expiration date. I got pulled over last week by the RCMP (Rivet Counting Model Police) and discovered that my modeler's license had expired.

Now I have to take the test.

Really, when's your court date?[:D]

When you get yor modelers license, pick up a few Round Toits. They will come in handy.

FEC sells Round Toits by the box with their Models Licence, about a dozen per box.[:D][:D]

Bob,

If you're the Bob Boudreau I think you are, and I think you are . .. you're a Master Model Railroader in my book already!

IF I had a vote, I'd vote for Bob being a Master Model Railroader already.
