We are an active and dedicated group of individuals, who share an interest in model engineering.  The society caters for all model engineering tastes and our woodland site contains a superb 5" and 7¼" ground level track, which sweeps through the beautiful Pettypool Wood.  Fully controlled with automatic points and semaphore signalling, multiple train operations are possible.  View more

The society operates its own woodland railway!  The Pettypool Miniature Railway is open for business every Sunday afternoon throughout the summer months and has been providing enjoyment for both adults and children for many years.  Our steam and diesel hauled passenger trains leave frequently from Woodside station between 1 and 4pm.  View more

  A note about the Pettypool trust

MCSME's ability to operate it's railway is very much due to the generous and kind support of our landlords, The Pettypool Trust.  It is appropriate to include reference on this website to the excellent cooperation we receive from them and to reiterate our commitment to supporting their summer visitors, who regularly ride with us.

*Due to demand and weather conditions, a steam service is not always guaranteed.
