Melton Mowbray Model Engineers Open Weekend

Melton Mowbray Model Engineers Open Weekend

Multiple dates from Saturday, June 2nd to Sunday, June 3rd

Event Summary
This annual event will take place over the weekend of 2nd and 3rd June 2018 at Whissendine Sports Club Ground, Melton Road, Whissendine, Rutland LE15 7EU (signposted from A606 Melton to Oakham Road)

Over thirty miniature steam road vehicles - traction engines and wagons - will be in attendance ranging in size from 2" scale (1/6 full size) to 6" scale (half size). The emphasis will be on engines working and giving demonstrations with some giving rides around the extensive grounds.

One of the highlights of the weekend will be the road runs (parades) into the village – around lunchtime on both days. The parades are great occasions to see engines working - particularly on the mile long up hill return journey and they are well supported by the villagers who always turn out in large numbers to give the event a great atmosphere.

The society's miniature railway tracks will also be busy giving rides throughout the weekend with visiting and members' locomotives.

There will be an exhibition of model engineering and model aircraft and, following the success at last year’s event, a much larger art and craft display.

Delicious home-made refreshments will be available throughout the weekend.

Admission is free of charge so why not take the family along?

This event is run by model engineers for model and steam enthusiasts and supports LOROS - Hospice Care for Leicestershire & Rutland.
