Welcome to North Staffs Model Engineering Society website
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.
Meetings during the Spring, Autumn and Winter are held on the first
Wednesday and third WEDNESDAY (new
for Winter of 2010) of each month at the Conservative Club,
Merrial Street, Newcastle.
At 7.30pm; visiting speakers or our own members talk or demonstrate on
subjects allied to the hobby.
Meetings during the Summer months are at the trackside at Brampton Park
on the first Wednesday of each month at 7.30pm.
The multi-gauge railway track is used to give rides to the public when
the Society is ‘at home’ on Sunday afternoons between 2.30 and 4.30pm
from the beginning of May until the end of September. The track can be
used by members at anytime throughout the year.
