I had decided I would not jump into this discussion of the contests and the AP Program. But I have different opinions from what I have read here. When I...
I would like to say that I agree with what good Dr Nichols Sr. has said. After serving in Deans position for almost 10 yrs, judging on local level, regional...
Ok...here is an idea. We open up the contest room, judge the models for points, and then hide the scores. Give everybody a ribbon, and have a session after...
Dr. Joe should have judges beating his door down. Dean needs them more at the conventions. Everyone volunteers, then doesn't show up. This is where you learn...

Hello All, As Bob Hundeman indicated last year in his editorial on prototype modeling meets, either we (the NMRA) will seek to understand and address the...
I'm fine with contest room...and if it scares them away, then they need to go build airplanes. Model car folks have contest rooms...(NHRS Winner here) Model...
In a word, the problem is *advertising* not apathy. Case in point - two different nationals 2000 & 2001. At 2000 in San Jose, the amount of advertising about...
Photos is one area I feel bad about not bringing anything. I shot 11,000 photos over the past three years (since I got the new digital camera, it keep track)...
I used to enter photos every year, but I stopped when all 5 of my entries were continually the only entries....I mean it was a good way to collect ribbons, but...
... Well, unscientific as it may be, we're well on the way to publicizing B'ham well, especially with the mentions in the Southerner.... Heck, I MIGHT even...

Question: AP Engineer Civil Section 3 construct for merit judging one of the following... There is one item called OTHER; Could other be a curved turnout or a...
Scott, The curved turnout is still a turnout and does not really fall into it's own catagory. The turntable is really a structure and is outside the scope of...
There is one item called OTHER; Could other be a curved turnout or a turntable? Scott: Check out this page.... http://www.nmra.org/achievement/apc5.html In...
Mike, I will have to disagree. The scratchbuilt track items are meant to test your ability to build components of rail. The turntable is a structure, and has 2...

Even a gaunlet track has frogs at both ends, so there is a little more to it than just the parallel rails. In any event, here is the answer from National, and...
