Alternative to the NMRA Master Model Railroader?

[e-paw]

Well it's a big hobby with lots a niches in it. It's hard to set a standard on something that is so subjective. Different people have different opinions, and preferences on what they feel what constitutes a master modeler. I generally place little importance on titles in day to day life, I've found that most people that have them don't deserve them. I would rather keep my hobby a lot less serious, It's a nice diversion and I'd like to keep it that way.It may sound like a contradiction but I have the awards that I have received from the various challenges here at The Gauge, proudly displayed in my train room. I was honored that other people here liked my work enough to vote for it, But I'd rather not hold some, title earned or not. There are plenty of outstanding molders here in my opinion. I'd rather just call them ''Friends'' and keep it at that.
