Perhaps you are referring to the NMRA's "Master Model Railroader" (MMR) designation? To achieve this level, a modeler must earn seven Achievement certificates in various related fields - Master Builder of Cars, Structures, Scenery, Locomotive, Model Railroad Civil Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Author, Volunteer, Association Official, Chief Dispatcher. I think there is one more, but can't recall at this time. Note there are ten/eleven categories, a modeler has to earn seven, one of which must be Volunteer or Official.
It can be a long road to this achievement! I personally have five certificates and about 90% of the work for two more. All I have to do is get off my butt and complete the requirements!
