Nmra Form PDF Details

The NMRA (National Model Railroad Association) National Contest Judging Form #902, revised version C as of May 8, 2009, is a comprehensive document used to assess model railroad entries in national contests. This essential form, which renders all previous versions obsolete, requires entrants to provide detailed information about their model railroad projects, including the entry name and a series of criteria that judges will evaluate. These criteria cover construction, detailing, conformity to prototype designs, finish and lettering, and scratch-built components, with each section allowing for a maximum number of points awarded. Entrants must describe their construction techniques, the complexity and details of the model, adherence to real-world designs, and the methods used in finishing the model, including painting and lettering. Additionally, for models classified as kit built, the form includes a section to list all parts that were scratch built and any special refinements. By systematically analyzing aspects from the model's base construction to the finesse of its finish, the NMRA Form #902 serves as a critical tool in evaluating the skill, accuracy, and creativity of hobbyists in the model railroading community.
