2 CL2005 CINCINNATI MODEL CONTEST This is the second comprehensive photo coverage of a model contest at a national convention. Due to size, this work has been broken up into 3 parts to make downloading a little easier by making each part a little smaller in size. Part 1 covered just Rolling Stock. It contains 39 pages & 175 photos. Part 2 covers Structures & Displays and has 61 pages & 175 photos. New this year, the Module Contest & the Trainshow in general will be covered in Part 3. Each model is listed by Entrant s Name, Town & State, Description of the Model, Category Scores, & Total Score. The color of the box containing the text indicates the placing of the model. At least one photo and very often many photos of each model appear under the text information box to show each model s detailing to its best advantage. A sample of the listing format is shown in the box at the bottom of this page. This was a huge amount of work but was done to better show the modeling community & the general public what the AP scoring was on each of the models in this contest. It is also a way to show that more than just a small handful of models are entered in a contest as in the past, only the winners of a contest have been displayed whereas there have always been many more entries. At the contest in Seattle I had taken over 1200 photos between the contest room & the trainshow. This year that total exceeds 1500! With this many photos to draw from it can easily be seen that many views are available and I have picked the ones that do the best job of showcasing the modeler s workmanship. I hope some of you who are viewing this Photo Book will be encouraged to enter future contests. All Photos taken by Paul V.
