The North London Society of Model Engineers (NLSME)

The North London Society of Model Engineers (NLSME) was originally founded in 1944, the aim through which the Society was originally founded still remains today, and that is to promote and encourage model engineering and its related pastimes.

The NLSME website provide's you access to our monthly newsletter in glorious colour. (Unlike our actually newsletter that is sent out to all members in black & white.)
Articles, hundreds of new photographs. And our new forum that we hope will bring together all members old and new along with hobbyists across the world.

Within our society we have different sections, which include:-

Locomotive Section (Colney Heath)
Stationary Steam & Traction Engines (Colney Heath)
OO Railways (North London)
Slot Cars (North London)

--UPDATE--

Stop Press - 27/06/2010

The decision has regrettably been taken to restrict opening of the Colney Heath railway site to the general public for the rest of the season. It will only be open on the first Sunday of each month, 4th July; 1^st August; 5^th September; 3^rd October and finally on the 31^st October.

This situation has been caused by an ongoing shortage of Stewards, needed to safely monitor and control the visiting public on Sunday afternoons, together with a shortage of suitable engines and drivers to provide a satisfactory train service between 2 and 5pm. The situation will nevertheless be kept under review.

Please check this website in case of any later changes.

When the site is open train rides for visitors on either the raised or ground level miniature railways will be available, dependent on the prevailing weather and the availability of locomotives and drivers. We can make no guarantee that trains will be running on any particular Sunday. Toilets and normally refreshments will be available, but as this is a private site we do not allow private parties on site, except by prior arrangement.
Please note that there is NO public parking on-site. Parking is recommended before the river bridge in Church Lane, as only limited parking is available along the final approach lane and none in front of the houses at Park Corner or in front of the Water Board gates, these must be kept clear at all times.
