The inaugural meeting was held on 7th February 1975 at Blundell's School in Tiverton. A track was established in the school grounds, but due to developments at the school, the club was forced to remove its track in 1987.
The club became a limited liability company in 1996, and in 1998 was able to purchase a piece of land, approximately an acre, on Worthy Moor. Over the subsequent 10 years, a new dual gauge raised track was built on the site. See the "Track" link on the left for more details.
The club provides model engineers in central and north Devon with a society where they can discuss engineering matters, share experiences, and run traction engines, steam locomotives or other models.
We hold two organised events each month, consisting of two running days at our Worthy Moor track (one on the first Saturday of each month, and a second on the Sunday two weeks after the Saturday steam-up).
Between April and September, a barbecue is held at the Worthy Moor site on the Friday evening of the weekend following the Saturday steam-up.
See the Meetings page for full details of our events, including our Open Days, boiler testing days, and track maintenance days.
