Welcome! We are a friendly, long established society and a founder member of the Northern Association of Model Engineers. We promote our hobby by building and operating steam and other powered models; experimentation; encouraging young people to become engineers; maintaining links and holding rallies with other societies; sharing our hobby with our local community; and supporting local charities. We sell light refreshments, ice creams and souvenirs when the railway is open and our premises are wheelchair accessible. We have a carriage funded by the Lottery enabling most wheelchair users to enjoy a ride on the railway. We are a non-profit making company limited by guarantee, and as a model engineering society all our staff are volunteers. All revenue goes into maintaining the railway and improving facilities or is donated to charity. We do not charge for entry to the railway.
Visitors are always welcome.

We're not just a miniature railway!
Our hobby encompasses many different areas of interest, not just miniature railways. This a magnificent model of a fairground showman's engine.
A variety of model engineering exhibits will be on show at our exhibition on Sunday 6th July. There are stationary engines, clocks, traction engines as well as railway wagons.
