Welcome to the Website of the West Wilts Society of Model Engineers!


Why should you join our club?

(Membership forms are available as a Word .DOC ... and you can find us just here. )

You're a Moonraker. You live within a 20 mile radius of Westbury in Wiltshire, probably within the environs of Warminster, Frome, Bradford-On-Avon, Bath, Colerne, Marshfield, Corsham, Chippenham, Calne, Melksham, Lacock, Devizes or Westbury itself.

You thrive on Model Engineering in all its aspects, trains, traction engines, clocks, automatons, sun-dials, CNC machining, foundry work, farm vehicles, aircraft, boats, tool-making, wood work, ornamental turning, or even making toys for the children and grandchildren.

You experience paroxysms of intense pleasure when you discuss the workings of gear wheels, internal and external combustion engines, and anything that makes intricate motions especially if accompanied by a clang, a bang, and the rushing wind of escaping steam.

Your railway interests encompass from 5" gauge down to 16mm narrow gauge. You would enjoy days out at country fetes giving rides to children of all ages from 9 months to 99 years old on our portable miniature railway.

You have your own workshop or are thinking of setting one up and need guidance on what to buy

... or you're just a downright upright honest woman or man of a jolly disposition who fits in anywhere***
