The Chelmsford Society of Model Engineers is 90 years old. Our members come from all walks of life and do not necessarily have an engineering background. Membership is open to all with an interest in model engineering. We have a membership of over 80.
Our interests cover all forms of model engineering from steam to horology. Members also operate Chelmsford City Miniature Railway, carrying passengers pulled by steam locomotives on two-scale railway tracks. Situated in Central Park, in the City of Chelmsford, the railways are used to give rides to members of the public.
Ferrovia 200
La Stockton & Darlington Railway è stata inaugurata il 27 settembre 1825, collegando luoghi, persone, comunità e idee e trasformando il mondo.
Railway 200 sarà una campagna nazionale guidata da partnership della durata di un anno per celebrare 200 anni di ferrovia moderna e ispirare una nuova generazione di giovani talenti pionieristici a scegliere una carriera nelle ferrovie. Invita la comunità, le ferrovie e altri gruppi a partecipare.
As part of these celebrations we are planning a special railway gala day on Sunday 21st September 2025. 10.am to 4.00pm
We will be operating our 3.5 inch. 5 inch and 7.25 steam railways in addition to our garden railway with 32mm and 45 mm gauges. There will also be demonstrations of Hornby clockwork and electric railway layouts to illustrate toy trains through the ages.
