​Welcome to our website. We are a friendly, long established model engineering society and a founder member of the Northern Association of Model Engineers.  We are a completely non-profit making company limited by guarantee. We are dedicated to promoting our hobby by building and operating steam and other types of powered models; by invention and experimentation; tool making; encouraging young people to become engineers; maintaining links and holding rallies with other model engineers; promoting our hobby within our local community; and supporting local charities - particularly the Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity and St. Luke's Hospice. We sell light refreshments, ice cream and souvenirs when the railway is open to the public and our premises and toilets are wheelchair accessible. We have a special carriage which was funded by the Lottery Awards For All scheme enabling most wheelchair users to enjoy a ride on the railway. Please ask if you need this service.
Our members are volunteers and 100% of our income is used on maintaining and insuring the railway and premises, and to support local charities and community. Visitors are always welcome.

We're not just a miniature railway!

Our hobby encompasses many different areas of interest, not just miniature railways. One of our members repairs braille machines, but he also collects music boxes and vintage music machines. Here he is playing a 120 year old concert roller organ he has restored. The roller has pins which release valves when the handle is turned and operates the bellows to blow air through the pipes and play the music. CLICK on the picture to see a video of the organ working!
