Achievement Program Chair: Jim Kehn, MMR®
The Achievement Program offers an incentive to learn and master the various crafts and skills involved in the hobby of model railroading. Upon completing each category, you will receive an Achievement Program Certificate recognizing your accomplishment.
In summary, the Achievement Program is a set of requirements for demonstrating a superior level of skill in various aspects of our hobby. It encompasses not only the construction of various types of models but also the creation of other important elements, such as scenery, structures, track work, and wiring. Additionally, it acknowledges service to both the hobby and the NMRA, which are significant as well.
