NMRA conventions and train show events feature a model and photo contest where entries are displayed to be viewed and enjoyed by other model railroaders and the general public. Any NMRA member may enter models and photos into these contests.
The 2010 train show was the first to feature both NMRA (merit) judging and popular vote contests. They are displayed as two sections below.
The following are the contest winners from the 2010 Gateway Division annual model and photo contest. Click any photo for the larger version.
