About Chingford & District Model Engineering Club

A model engineering club based in the Ridgeway Park, Chingford, promoting model engineering to people of all ages, but most of all, having fun!

Chingford & District Model Engineering Club Description

The Chingford and District Model Engineering Club is over 60 years old. Our members come from all walks of life and do not necessarily have an engineering background. Membership is open to either sex (several of our female members are qualified train drivers) and starts at 10 for Apprentices, 14 for Juniors and 18 years for full membership.
The club seeks to promote all forms of model engineering and model making,
as shown on our club badge (Boats, Planes, Trains & Static Models).

A great day out for the family, fun for all ages. Situated in the middle of a park just makes things easy there is a car paerk for the park accessible via the mian gates (peel close enterance).

We are now working on the railways getting our winter maintenance done. Disappointing that there have been two occasions over the past couple of weeks where youngsters have come in to the site and deliberately caused damage. The cctv is now with the police as the youngsters involved are quite easily identifiable. Even more disappointing that last week's damage was done within view of adults possibly parents! Please let us know if you are over the park and notice anything. Many thanks for all your support.

User

Thank you to everyone who visited us this year. Unfortunately this does mean we are now closed for winter maintenance.
Here are a couple of photos from today's efforts of the track work in the station. Platform one is being updated to help the circuiting. Still missing a rail but it will be back soon.

Many thanks for all your support at our charity day on Sunday. All together you helped us to raise £1427 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

User

We hope you have all enjoyed riding on the railway this year. It would be great if you could leave a review for us here on FB and also on Trip Advisor and even on Google! We would really like to get as many people along as possible next week to boost our charity event. Many thanks in advance.

Our annual charity event will be on Sunday 7th October. We always try to support a local cause and this year we are donating all proceeds from the day to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. For £3 you will get to ride on both railways and we will donate 100% of the takings. We will be starting at 1.00pm with the last train at 5.00pm. We hope that as many of you as possible will come along and support us and the charity. This will be our last running session this year.
... Many thanks in advance
