BlastPipe – Model Engineering Directory.

The Society was formed in 1936 when a group of like-minded people came together to share, exchange and develop knowledge and skills associated with the world of engineering in miniature. The Society is a local organisation that exists to demonstrate craftsmanship in making and operating objects that work and give pleasure. However, through national associations, there are links to model engineers all over the world.

The areas that interest the current membership, who come from all walks of life, include building and operating live steam and other railway engines, steam road vehicles such as traction engines and rollers. Also included are clocks, stationary steam engines such as those that powered industry in the past, model internal combustion engines and the making of tools to help in the home workshop.
