Federation of Model Engineering Societies

Services

Our aims are to promote the enjoyment of Model Engineering as a hobby by helping Model Engineers, through their clubs, navigate a route through contemporary legislative and social requirements to retain the freedom and enjoyment that is the essence of any hobby. We do this through liaison with other representative hobby organisations, with government officials, insurance companies and indeed with anyone with a contribution.

We have been instrumental in defining responses to boiler testing of miniature live steam engines, a safety approach to running passenger carrying railways, the evolution of specific insurance policies and in interpreting various types of legislation that affects club activity. We respond to particular issues raised by clubs by offering comment and support and we actively encourage newcomers to the hobby through events, exhibitions competitions and guidance.
