UPDATE: Here are the eleven (11) Master Model Railroaders in Central Indiana Division, NMRA history so far (03 16 2025). Originally, I posted a photo of ten (10) MMRs, and then discovered about three months later, March 15, 2025, while paging through old Rusty Spike newsletters that Frank Hermanek earned his MMR while he lived in the CID. I was informed by the former Achievement Program (AP) Chairman, Frank Koch, that a person may earn AP certificates in several Regions or Divisions. However, when a person earns his/her 7th certificate and becomes a Master Model Railroader, his/her name is listed in whatever Division he/she resided in at time if actually earning the MMR.

Here is the First Edition of the Rusty Spike, November of 1970. Previously it was known as the CID Newsletter which began in 1965. (fb)
