Model Train Journal

All:

I opened my newly arrived issue of NMRA Magazine and there on page 54 was his story!

Congratulations, Marty!!!!!

George

Congratulations on this considerable achievement. For those who are not aware, "Rufus" is also an extraordinarily accomplished biomedical scientist. I'm not going to out him since he has chosen to remain anonymous and modest here on MTJ. He's not tooting his own horn, so I'll just leave it at that . Well done!

Congratulations Martin. You needed seven of the eleven Achievement Certificates to qualify as an MMR and I see you achieved eight. Nice work!

Congratulations, Martin!!! Awesome!

Good on ya, mate! Having a few samples of your work, I can see why.

Even though this is NOT an easy accomplishment I think one could see this coming.
Congratulations Martin.

Congrats!

Thank you all. Comments are much appreciated.

I was hoping to get my own copy of the NMRA magazine to see my article, but apparently that's lost or something, somewhere. Figures.....

Rufus,
Will it be possible to show us on MTJ some of your work upon which the award is based? Even if it has been shown before.
I realize that there may be reasons that this cannot be done.

Might be doable for a few bits - not sure I have good photos of some stuff and some parts of MMR have no models involved. I'll know there are a few that are in my photo host.

Couple of models were sold off a number of years ago back when I was not sure I'd ever bother finishing....

I received my NMRA magazine today and there you are.
Very impressive achievement.
I’m not sure that I’ll ever achieve the requirements for MMR. I’ve started the dispatcher requirements and could probably get the electronic requirement if I ever get motivated to complete the paperwork.
Congratulations on your achievement.
