NMRA Model Contest
As part of a National Convention, STATION No. VI will be supporting the annual NMRA Model Contest with a separate room for those that wish to enter a model into this contest. The location of the room will be in your event program when you arrive and go through registration. All the rules for the NMRA contest can be found on the NMRA website – https://www.nmra.org/contests
STATION No. VI Model Display Area
If you would like to display a model, but are not interested in getting it judged for an NMRA award or points…. we’ve got you covered at STATION No. VI! In one of the HQ hotel ballrooms, we’ll have several model railroads displays/operating PLUS many tables for model displays. There will be several different categories, so your model will need to be placed at the proper table.
People’s Choice Contest
Models in the Model Display Area may also, fill out a form and your model will be entered into a PEOPLE’S CHOICE contest. The convention attendees will get to vote on their favorite models in each category. Awards will be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each category, plus the 1st and 2nd place winners will receive gift certificates of $100 (1st) and $50 (2nd) from the sponsor of that category. YES…. we’re getting manufacturer sponsors for each category and they will give out these certificates to the winners!
Models will need to be brought to the room on Tuesday and picked up on Friday evening! There is no additional charge to bring in and display a model and you can display as many as you wish! The ONE and only restriction…. you cannot enter the display/People’s Choice and the NMRA contest with the same model. You must choose one or the other for your model. You can enter different models in each contest if you wish (a loco in the NMRA contest and a different loco in the People’s Choice display is OK to do!!).
