Edinburgh Society of Model Engineers Limited
The Society's base at Almondell near Broxburn features two workshops, both equipped with lathes, milling machines and other machine and hand tools for members to use. It is spacious, modern and offers comprehensive meeting, kitchen and toilet facilities.
Since acquiring the 11 acre site at Almondell in 2013 the Society has been steadily building and extending an extensive miniature railway for the use of members and visitors. Each year we also run four events which are open to the public.
During the winter months ESME runs a programme of interesting talks on Tuesday evenings which is the regular club night. The regular club nights enable members to benefit from the knowledge and skills of others and to develop engineering skills. When the opportunity arises the Society also arranges appropriate technical visits.
The Society operates a portable railway track that attends local gala days and charity events where rides are given to members of the public behind miniature locomotives many of which are “live-steam".
