2019 National NMRA Convention Model Contest! - The NMRA Salt Lake City Convention

We are at the NMRA national convention in Salt Lake City, this week, THE MODEL CONTEST!! Some great model railroad models competing for top honors.

It has taken years of planning for the local and regional groups to put together the National Convention in Salt Lake City. The convention includes layout tours, workshops, seminars and prototype railroad events across the Wasatch area.

This week we are looking at the model contest, models in several scales of locomotives, rolling stock and structures. AND we finally get to enter the Union Pacific F3 units that Dale has been screwing around with for years and that we covered on a Tuesday show several months back, - Union Pacific Hobbytown F3 A-B-A lashup in HO Scale from the 1960's.
From the web:
The National Model Railroad Association sponsors a national convention to provide a place for the members to meet from all over the world. There are many activities for the member to learn and participate in all aspects of the hobby.

The NMRA has held contests for many years at National and Regional Conventions as well as many Divisional Meets. The Judged Model Contest is typically considered the prime event. However, excellent Photo, Pass, Arts & Crafts and Module Contests are often also included. The judging of the Model Contest is conducted by teams of experienced judges using a point scoring system providing a grade between zero and 125 pts. Five factors are judged including construction, conformity, detail, appearance and scratch built. The final point score is the basis for award ranking. Attaining a point score of 87.5 pts or 70% entitles the entrant to a Merit Award which counts towards Master Builder Awards in the NMRA Achievement Program.

The NMRA web site has a plethora of great information on the contest rules, procedures, and guidelines.
