‘Model Engineering Clubs - Steam’ Category

We are a small club of 40 members, with a wide age range, who share the passion for model engineering; this takes many forms Boats, plains, stationary engines, traction engines, steam plant but maily trains.

Our club which has a miniature railway of 1100 feet is based in the village of West Huntspill, just off the A38, between the market towns of Highbridge / Burnham-on-Sea and Bridgwater on the west Somerset coast.

Between Easter and the end of October we like to open our railway to the public, so they too may enjoy the models, a ride behind one of them, also take in the atmosphere and the smell of a working miniature railway.

The society has an 850 ft miniature railway (5″ and 3.5″) in Stratford Park, Stroud which members can use at any time.
Events are organised at the track during Summer months to encourage as many people as possible to run their engines and turn up for a natter. Public passenger hauling is held on the last Sunday afternoon in each month, April – Oct.
During the winter regular meetings are held with speakers invited to talk on a variety of mainly engineering subjects.

The Isle of Wight Model Engineering Society is a long-established club (founded 1934) for those residents of this part of Britain whose main interests lie in making and operating working models. The range of modelmaking interests in the Society is broad, ranging from large scale locomotives (road and rail) powered by steam or electricity, to quite small scale boats and road vehicles, working and static. Members also make workshop equipment, stationary engines and clocks.
