ModelRailwayEngineer bags another award.
It was disappointing to see that the Best Website category had been dropped from BRM Awards this year. I was really hoping to build on the win last year and take home Gold this time around, but that hasn’t stopped the MRE Gong Collection growing.
I’m really pleased that MRE has won an award in the Bloggy Awards, recognising the sites user friendliness, useful information and reading enjoyment scoring 10 out 10 in each of these category and a overall score of 9/10.
Comments from the judges include:
“User Friendliness
Organized is the word to describe the site. It has a header menu that enables the visitor to find what interests him easily. Popular posts are also easily identified.
Reading Enjoyment
Train modellers, war gamers, and other hobbyists will definitely find the blog enjoyable. Knowledge and enthusiasm is a good combination!
Useful Info
Andy shows his experience and passion in every post he publishes. It is clear that he knows what he is doing, and whether you are new to the niche or have some experience under your belt, you will find lots to learn.”
It’s great to see the site being recognised amongst general websites as well as the specialist model railway press.
Andy is a lifelong modeler, writer, and founder of modelrailwayengineer.com. He has been building model railways, dioramas, and miniatures for over 20 years. His passion for model making and railways began when he was a child, building his first layout at the age of seven.
Andy’s particular passion is making scenery and structures in 4mm scale, which he sells commercially. He is particularly interested in modelling the railways of South West England during the late Victorian/early Edwardian era, although he also enjoys making sci-fi and fantasy figures and dioramas. His website has won several awards, and he is a member of MERG (Model Railway Electronics Group) and the 009 Society.
When not making models, Andy lives in Surrey with his wife and teenage son. Other interests include history, science fiction, photography, and programming. Read more about Andy.
