We recently held a rally for visiting 7¼" gauge locomotives. This 'Double Fairlie' called "A.G.W. Garraway", visiting from Kent, is based on a two foot gauge Welsh narrow gauge prototype. Click on the photo to see a video of the event.
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 funded by the Lottery Awards For All scheme which enables most wheelchair users to enjoy a ride on the railway. Please ask if you need this service.
Our members are volunteers and our income is used on the railway, maintenance, insurance and to support local charities.
Visitors are always welcome.

We're not just a miniature railway!
Our hobby encompasses many different areas of interest, not just miniature railways. Some model engineers like to make miniatures of full-size vintage machinery, like this antique twin spindle drilling machine.
Model of a Victorian era slotting machine and a bending machine to 12th scale. We hope to have this and other miniatures on show at our exhibition on 9th July.
