For Sale section updated 2/1/2010

Come and see us...

Located in the picturesque village of Kinver in Staffordshire, the society has an extensive raised 2150 ft track catering for both 5" and 3 1/2" gauges. A ground level 7 1/4" track is now completed and ready for running on.

Visitors are most welcome and the society is open to the public most Sunday afternoons from 14:00 until 17:00 between Easter and November. Young and old alike can come and ride our scale models of steam and diesel locomotives and trams or just come to take a look and ask a few questions.  During the winter the club house is used for presentations and lectures (see Club Diary). If you'd like to become involved in the society then come down and say hello.

With the advent of a thriving and sometimes treacherous secondhand and kit-built market in miniature steam locomotives, the above is particularly relevant and we are always looking for new members. Save yourself the heartache of buying a piece of scrap and come join us.

We are only too willing to advise and model engineers just LOVE to help pother people spend their money!!. See the 'Buying a steam loco?' page for more information.

Otherwise, why not just make us part of a grand day out, there's plenty to do around and about the society.  Kinver Edge nature reserve is just minutes away by foot or car, where you can explore the rock houses.  If you're more of a shopping person then take a ride over to Merry Hill, about twenty minutes by car.  There is also a junior play area next to the society and numerous pubs in the area that serve food, beer or a just a coffee.
