In
simple terms, the Achievement
Program (AP) is a travel guide, to help
you on your journey through the world of model railroading. The AP also
provides incentive 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.
The
AP requirements
are a
set of standards, but they can also serve as a
set of guideposts for those who are new, near-new, and not-so-new to
the hobby. Not because they lead to some sort of official
pat-on-the-back, but because they are a source of ideas for projects
that can help us learn to become better modelers.
