We are a friendly, long established model engineering society and a founder member of the Northern Association of Model Engineers. Visitors are always welcome. We are dedicated to promoting our hobby by building and operating steam and other types of powered models; by invention and experimentation; by tool making; by encouraging young people to become engineers; by maintaining links with model engineers in the UK and abroad; by promoting our hobby within our local community; and by supporting local charities - particularly the Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity. 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. We are a completely non-profit making company limited by guarantee. All our members are volunteers, so our income is used to insure and run the railway, maintain our buildings and picnic area and in supporting local charitable causes.

We're not just a miniature railway:
Model engineering encompasses many different areas of interest, not just miniature railways. These stationary steam engines are all the work of one of our members.
