Hi,

I'm in the process of making sand moulds for a number of castings I require in both Cast Iron and Bronze.

Does anyone know of any companies offering a small scale casting service?

Many thanks

Cliff

New Model Engineering Society for North Yorkshire

Like just about every club and society over the last 18 months has been effected by the social restrictions placed upon us all during the Covid pandemic. So, it may come as a surprise that plans are being developed to establish a new model engineering society in North Yorkshire; with opportunities to have a working association with the Wensleydale Heritage Railway, that operates between Scruton in the Vale of Mowbray to Redmire, in the spectacular Yorkshire Dales.

Plans are currently at an early stage. However; these are already supported by access to land for the development of facilities, the potential of track to begin building a combined 5” and 7 ¼” gauge layout, access to meeting facilities, and the logistical opportunities association with the Wensleydale Railway can bring.

Further potential opportunities for members will include options to become a Member of the Wensleydale Railway Association (Trust) Ltd., and the chance to volunteer at the Wensleydale Heritage Railway. Membership will also offer regular editions of the Wensleydale Railways’ magazine, ‘Relay’; along with discounted travel on normal timetabled trains.

The societies founder, Cliff Almond, is no stranger to establishing new societies: having been the founding member of the very successful East Somerset Society of Model & Experimental Engineers and was their first Chairman. He has also held the honorary posts of Secretary and Committee Member at two other Societies.

The society will be known as the Wensleydale Model Engineering Society (WMES); as welcomes enquiries for member from anyone interested in any facet of model engineering.

Anyone interested in joining the society are invited to email Cliff Almond at:

Hi to all. Now this may appear a strange time to be writing a thread about a potential new society; but life will get back to normal during next year!

With this in mind, I'm looking at the opportunity/opening that exists for a new society in North Yorkshire - based in Bedale, to be specific.

As the founding member of the ESSMEE, and having been been both a Chairman of the former and Secretary of another, I know its all possible.

With the nearest society 20 miles away, and the opportunity for both meeting facilities and even somewhere, at least, to set up an up and down 7, 1/4 track (to inc 5", plus storage facilities, im sure we can begin planning something.

If interested in receiving more information, please contact me at [email protected]

Hi, Im soon to move to Bedale, N. Yorkshire. Unfortunately, I dont believe there to be any societies within a reasonable distance to my new location.

Please can anyone advise me otherwise?

I am currently the Secretary for a notable society in the Midlands; as well as being the founder member of a successful society elsewhere in the UK. With this in mind (should there not be a society in the Bedale area, if there are enough interested people, I would be interested in starting a new group.

I look forward to hearing from any forum members.

Hi Rob,

You will be most welcome!

Kind regards

Cliff

Good evening all.

As Secretary of the Nottingham Society of Model & Experimental Engineers, I would like to remind forum readers that we are proudly hosting IMLEC 2012

General Description Of The Weekend’s Activities

The event will now be held over the the two days of the weekend of 14/15 July and on Friday afternoon of 13 July to accommodate the number of entries received. NSMEE have received 28 entries to date and for this year's competition we didn't want to put any competitor on a reserve list. As a result we have decided to start the competition on the Friday afternoon.

There will be a minimum of 4 runs on the Friday with a maximum of 13 runs on the Saturday and 11 runs on the Sunday ie a total of 28 runs.

The first run on the Friday afternoon will start at 3.00pm and on the Saturday and Sunday, at 9.20am. Each loco will run for between 25 and 30 minutes pulling a train of carriages and passengers, the numbers of which are of the drivers own choosing. The turnaround time between successive runs is only 40 minutes, so some pretty slick organization is called for.

Please go to;

We look forward to welcoming you!
