Introduction
|
The Achievement Program
(AP) is an educational program for you to learn and master the many
crafts and skills necessary in the hobby of model railroading. With the
completion of each category, you will be issued a certificate
acknowledging your achievement.
While participation is strictly voluntary, all Carolina Piedmont
Division 13 members are welcome and encouraged to participate in the
Achievement Program.
For a complete description of the NMRA's Achievement Program click
here to go to the NMRA's AP web page. Click
here to go to the MER's AP web page. This page tells you about
our CPD13 AP Chairman and how to contact him, and provides a list
of CPD13 members who have received AP awards.

Getting Started
Go
to a Regional or Divisional meet. Take a model along and enter it in
the model contest. Contest results will provide you with a good
benchmark of your current skills. If you score enough points you will
be presented with a Merit Award that you can use towards your
Certificates of Achievement (see below). If you don't earn a merit
Award the judges will be happy to advise you on how you might improve
the model or build a better one next time.
If entering a contest doesn't appeal to you, contact your local AP Chairman to arrange for merit Award judging to be performed on your model at the next Division or Region meet separate from the contest.
AP judges will make house calls. If you are applying for a Golden Spike
Award (see below) or for categories like Scenery, Civil or Electrical
which cannot be transported to a contest, your local AP Chairman will send judges to your home at an agreed time for Merit Award judging. Talk to your local AP Chairman about the items you will need for the judging.
