North Wales Model Engineering Society

The Society was formed over 50 years ago as a result of 3 people meeting in a café in Llandudno. It has grown slowly to its present size and facilities as a result of the dedication and hard work of the members over the years.

Our facilities were located in the grounds of Ysgol Gogarth on Nant-y-Gamar Road in Craig-y-Don at the east end of Llandudno for some 37 years but plans to rebuild and expand the school meant that we had to leave the site. We have taken up a lease, kindly offered us by the Council, for a new site on Llandudno's West Shore and have obtained planning approval for a new permanent track and Clubhouse.

We have a portable 5" gauge track, which is used several times a year to raise money for local charities and our Society funds.

During the winter we meet twice each month with a mixture of talks on diverse topics, video evenings and always the opportunity to discuss the latest engineering problems members may have encountered.

There is at least 2 coach trips run each year to venues of interest to the members and their families, including the main Model Engineering Exhibitions.

If you are interested in Model Engineering of any kind or would like to help us to build and run a miniature railway at our new site, then why not get in contact with us, visit us at one of our meetings, make yourself known to us at one of our portable track events or pop in and see us most Saturdays at our West Shore Site. You will be sure of a friendly welcome.
