Members' interests cover everything from miniature steam, diesel and electric locomotion through to clocks, tools, traction engines, stationary industrial machines and trams. Central to our interests and activities is the miniature passenger-carrying railway which operates on Sundays and most Bank Holidays and which attracts many visitors, young and old, from near and far. We are always happy to receive visitors, and especially new members. The Society is fortunate in having a site contained within the historical Wortley Top Forge heritage centre which, in its own right, is well worth a visit to those interested in historic buildings, industrial machinery and relics, and boasts a superb working water wheel powered from the waters of the nearby River Don. We are also open on most Bank Holidays.
Visitors are always welcome and there is no charge for train rides.
The site itself is owned by the South Yorkshire Industrial History Society who allow the Model Engineers to use their facilities.
