I returned as judge this year and was joined by BMR contributor Chris Stone, and Cameron Miller from Brick Train Depot. We had over 200 entries across 11 categories for just the Americas region, and the overall quality of the models entered was truly excellent. The work being showcased from the LEGO train community for this year\u2019s awards is a testament to the skill and passion of the hobby&#8217;s fans. Of course, this made our task of picking winners all the more difficult, but it we also loved going through each and every model and discovering all the great build techniques and design ideas used, and also just looking at the beautiful, finished models. The Americas Region was definitely on their A game this year as five of the winners also took home the Global Award in their category!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to take a look at the

He has absolutely nailed the look of the L-2a. From the shaping of the boiler, to every little detail (the detail inside the cab on the backhead is crazy!), this locomotive does it right. There was some really stiff competition, but Glenn\u2019s Mohawk does everything so well, and it\u2019s hard to imagine a detail he missed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cameron\u2019s Thoughts;<\/strong> I have been a lifelong fan of the New York Central. When this locomotive was first shown in late 2020, I was immediately in need of it. I have looked at doing my own version many times so to see one so well executed was very nostalgic. There was a lot of debate on this category, but this locomotive really stood out from the pack. There were some great honorable mentions that also stood out exceptionally for me. In no particular order, C&amp;O #2716 Berkshire from Jeffery Fonda, Maine Central #501 Consolidation from Dawson Santoro, and Chicago &amp; Alton #656 Light Pacific from Aaron Burnett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris\u2019s Thoughts;<\/strong> Including \u201call the bells and whistles\u201d is the usual standard for Glenn\u2019s models, but even with that this engine has gone to levels of detail that stand out. I had to get almost outrageously nit-picky with the top entries to suss out which one was best, and this NYC L-2a had everything I could think to look for and then some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best Diesel Locomotive<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Aaron Burnett,&nbsp;United States<br>Chessie System GM EMD GP38 Locomotive #4806<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" data-attachment-id=\"221720\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/index.php\/2021\/03\/05\/brick-train-awards-2021-final-results-and-americas-region-winners-review\/hires_brick-train-awards-2021-americas-winner-best-diesel-locomotive-chessie-system-gm-emd-gp38-locomotive-4806-aaron-burnett\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1440&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1440\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone XR&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1601224993&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.25&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;320&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.021739130434783&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett-scaled.jpg?fit=474%2C267&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett.jpg?resize=474%2C267&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett-scaled.jpg?w=948&amp;ssl=1 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/brickmodelrailroader.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hires_Brick-Train-Awards-2021-Americas-Winner-Best-Diesel-Locomotive-Chessie-System-GM-EMD-GP38-Locomotive-4806-Aaron-Burnett-scaled.jpg?w=1422&amp;ssl=1 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div style=\"top: 0;

Then It was entered and show rolling around the track. It was a pleasant surprise to see.

John is a member of the Strasburg Model Railroad club and knows this engine well. He\u2019s even gone as far as to use real recordings of 90\u2019s bell and whistle and programed them into the Pfx brick powering the model. He is one heck of a builder for his age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cameron\u2019s Thoughts;<\/strong> This category was full of great entries but the detail and features of this model made it a worthy winner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris\u2019s Thoughts;<\/strong> I knew there were some very talented TFOL builders out there, but I was truly surprised by how many there were \u2013 and how good, too.

You have all the room to do the crazy SNOT and subtle offsets. Small models are a different story where you run out of room really quick. Owen\u2019s brake van is definitely on the small side, but is big on detail. It\u2019s also got some great character too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cameron\u2019s Thoughts;<\/strong> This was a toss up between the Owen\u2019s two entries. His plank wagon and brake van are both very well executed. I looked into the prototype of this because UK rolling stock is not my normal location or era. I was impressed to see just how well the detail and feel of the real thing was captured. The rigging detail under the frame really impressed all of us. The animal horn used as a spring detail was a new part usage for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris\u2019s Thoughts;<\/strong> Owen\u2019s Brake Van, as well as the rest of his entries for that matter, showcase an incredible ability to do a lot of amazing work in a very small space. The shape and textures of this brake van are all great, but have you seen that undercarriage work?

Everything has just the right amount of space to stand out. The landscaping is well thought out, and there are enough little details to add life to the sceme without becoming too busy in such a small space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cameron\u2019s Thoughts;<\/strong> This layout is TINY but&nbsp;<em>packed<\/em>&nbsp;with details. Some of my favorite details were the use of structures and the containers that are not \u201con grid\u201d but sitting at an angle. The feel of the layout was definitely of a busy rural freight house and surrounding area. The honorable mention in this category is Owen\u2019s signal tower. There was much debate over who should win this category. I even lobbied for adding a category just to accommodate both winners haha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris\u2019s Thoughts;<\/strong> Thoughts; Great attention to detail, with a very good balance in the amount of detail as well.

And it was a pleasure to work with Cameron and Chris on the judging for the Americas. Thank you to both of them for their work. The models summited this year were amazing, and the TFOL categories were the most impressive. Many TTFOL submissions could have been very strong contenders in the adult categories. To see such skill and talent in the younger community is such a thrill, and if it is any indication of what is to come, then our LEGO train hobby has a very bright future. I\u2019m very much looking forward to next year\u2019s Brick Train Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a tough competition this year, and many models came within fraction of winning. While they may not all have won, every entry was awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cameron&#8217;s\u2019s Final Thoughts:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cam here, building on what Cale said, I was honored to be invited to judge the entries this year and it was a lot of work but also very fun to talk about all the entries with Cale and Chris. I was very impressed with the entries across the board. There were plenty of builders I had not seen before so seeing their work was inspiring. Pretty soon all the the TFOL builders are going to have to give me a couple \u201cOld Guy\u201d categories to even stand a chance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chris\u2019s Final Thoughts:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was awesome to be able to participate in Brick Train Awards as a judge this year, I loved going through the entries. It was a lot of fun, but also very difficult \u2013 there were so many good entries that it really wasn\u2019t easy to choose, and we had to really dive into the fine details of a lot of these models to have any hope of figuring out a winner. At the end of the day, though, that\u2019s one of my favorite things about the hobby: Seeing and studying all the ways people approach their models. The skill level and standards have been going up, fast, and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what comes next. For now, I just want to congratulate the entrants, even the ones that didn\u2019t win \u2013 you guys have amazed and inspired me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s finally time to reveal the winners of the 2021 Brick Train Awards.
