MRR Awards 2019
After a 15-year absence the Model Railroader Magazine Readers’ Choice Awards are back for 2019! Winners were determined in January and all winners will be announced in the May 2019 issue of Model Railroader Magazine. Walthers is extremely pleased and humbled to be acknowledged in more than 15 categories including Locomotives & Light Rail, Passenger Cars, Freight Cars, Structures & Accessories, Control Systems & Electronics, and Scenery. Walthers won eight categories outright and seven runner’s up. Our winners included the WalthersProto Jordan Spreader, SceneMaster UPS Package Car, and the all-new Walthers Layout Control System Switch Machine.
The New Product Development Team at Walthers not only researches the prototype, but also has the monumental task of getting those details onto the scale models that ultimately make it onto model railroads across the globe. Innovation is also extremely valuable in model railroading and the Walthers Layout Control System is one set of products that shows a high level of ingenuity and satisfies a demand that modelers have been clamoring about for decades. All of the hard work and dedication we put into our products is worth the effort when we have such great customers.
Walthers is incredibly honored to receive such a positive response to our products, website, and brand. Browse below to see all of our reader’s choice items.
