Opens Easter Sunday 1pm - 4pm

Welcome to the official website of the Coventry Model Engineering Society. The main activities of the society centre on the building and running of the Ryton Pools Miniature Railway located at Ryton Pools Country Park near Coventry. In addition to this members are actively involved in the making of Model Locomotives, both Steam and battery powered, Traction Engines and Stationary Engines, also the making of specialised workshop equipment.

The Society is a member of the Midland, Northern and Southern Federations of Model Engineering Societies.

Building and maintenance work on the track is voluntary, (despite what the Committee says), and normally takes place Wednesday evenings during the months when Public running is operational, and Saturday afternoons throughout the year.

During the period when there is no public running the Society holds monthly meetings at a suitable location. These range from Bring and Buy sessions to appearances by guest speakers.

Membership is open to everyone, so if you are interested in taking up this fascinating hobby or would like to take part in building and running a miniature railway why not become a member.
