Ninth Annual N Scale Vehicle of the Year Awards

Post by cfritschle »

This year the absentee ballot for those unable to attend the National N scale Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin will be a “surveyâ€￾ which you will need to access from the N Scale Vehicle Association’s web site beginning May 15, 2013. However, you may preview the nominees now! This ballot can also be used for early voting if anyone attending the convention will not have the opportunity to vote in person. Please vote for one (1) new vehicle model and one (1) enhanced vehicle model. This is an honor system, and while we encourage everyone to vote, we also encourage everyone to vote only once! The last day for early/absentee voting will be June 15, 2013. http://nscalevehicles.org/


After viewing the nominees for both the New and Enhanced N Scale Vehicle of the Year Awards, follow the link to the absentee ballot which will be posted on May 15, 2013. While the ballot also incorporates the photos of the models, the bigger than life photos are only available on the NSVA web site. (Just click on the thumbnail to see the larger photo!)

We have a great selection of models this year, and in preparation of the voting, the nominees for Ninth Annual N Scale Vehicle of the Year Awards are listed below.

Nominees for New N Scale Vehicle of the Year Award (You will be able to vote for one):

GHQ RD8 crawler with logging arch

Herpa McCormick D 326 farm tractor

Thank you for your participation in the process. The manufacturers that have won the N Scale Vehicle of the Year Awards in the past frequently included an acknowledgement in their advertising. They do take the awards seriously! The previous winners of the awards may be viewed on the NSVA’s web site. http://nscalevehicles.org/vehicle_of_year.php

We are into the final week of absentee/early voting for the Ninth Annual N Scale Vehicle of the Year Awards. Here is the link to the N Scale Vehicle Association’s web site where you will find the link to the ballot: http://nscalevehicles.org/

Even if you are planning on attending the National N Scale Convention in Milwaukee later this month, you may vote early. The “liveâ€￾ voting will only be available during registration on Wednesday afternoon and during the Swap-A-Rama Friday morning. There are a lot of overlapping activities at the convention this year, so don’t miss your opportunity to vote!

P.S. The voting so far has been really close with just a few votes separating the leaders from the rest of the pack in both categories. Every vote counts!
