2020 EVENTS
	July 11, 2020, 9:00 AM • NMRA  Achievement Program (AP) Success panel discussion, via the Zoom virtual meeting platform. Do you want to create better model railroad structures, scenery, or rolling stock? Are you preparing to submit models in a contest, or for Achievement Program evaluation to seek a Merit Award? Are you curious about what gives scenery and models that extra boost from "great" to "outstanding"? If you say "Yes!" to any of these, we have the virtual program for you. Featured panelists include three of PCR's best modelers and long-time members: Frank Markovich, MMR® Mike Blumensaadt, MMR® Earl Girbovan Frank, Mike, and Earl will address how to create structures, scenery and rolling stock that score high in AP evaluations. They'll address what details matter and what judges look for, plus provide tips and techniques to move your modeling one step up. Each will provide his views in each modeling area. For this meeting, Motive Power won't be addressed, but they'll have a few comments at the end regarding the Civil and Electrical certificates along with aspects of Judging. The discussion should last for about 45 minutes with 15–20 minutes at the end for Q&A. Selected photos and slides will be presented. To participate, use your computer or phone to join via Zoom using these details. But please note: Your NMRA dues pay for PCR resources. Please respect PCR and NMRA resources, and keep our meetings secure, by not forwarding these details to non-members. Thank you.
