In addition, we will include two special categories that the Turkey Creek Division has had fun with. These include a Square Footer category and a Business Card Challenge. These entries are limited to their respective sizes, with a standard business card being 2"x 3.5" ...no cantilevers are allowed on both of these.

 

It is always helpful if you complete the entry forms ahead of the convention. All entries require the completion of the NMRA form #901. All model contest entries require completion of NMRA Form #902. Information about contest guidelines and rules can be found on the NMRA website.

 

Privately sponsored awards are encouraged... there is only one that we are aware of at this time. It is:

 

Narrow Gauge Light Iron Award - Awarded to the Mid-Continent Region Contest Model that Most Exemplifies the Spirit of Narrow Gauge Railroading
