Wild About SteamGlobal Model Engineering and Steam Heritage Directory

The Society was set up in 1990 by a few local people who each enjoyed operating Miniature Railways and grew to a dozen or so active members. For many years we have operated a portable seven and a quarter gauge track at many local Fetes and Fairs using a small electric loco to start with but this was later superseded by Brian Howorth’s new Sprinter 150001, initially as a one coach unit, then two, then three and later four car set. Joe Milburns 0-8-0 Caribou Loco also visited. The length of the track grew to anything up to 400 yards. All this was raising money in the hope of eventually finding a site for a permanent railway. Over the years there have been a number of potential sites that would have been suitable for a permanent Miniature Railway.

The UKs most comprehensive range of tools and machinery, 600+ full colour pages with clear product photos.

The railway and its trains are operated entirely by its unpaid members and volunteers. As a society we cover all aspects of model engineering and cover a wide range of skills and interests, however our main focus is on our live steam miniature railways and all that its operation and maintenance entails.
