RADMEC - Welcome to RADMEC - Ramsgate and District Model Engineering Club

Please note the site is still under development, but we hope you will find the information here both interesting and useful and look forward to you visiting us.

History is fascinating and no period in transport history captures a wider audience more so than the steam era during the development of our steam transport systems. The model Rail locomotives, Traction engines and Road locomotives that we build and run depict the steam, Diesel and Electric locomotives of this period in our heritage.

Our elevated permanent way is able to run 3½" and 5" gauge rail locomotives alongside asphalted foot paths for road locomotives all situated in the historic Ellington Park in Ramsgate, being located on the Ellington Road side of the Park (Click to find us). Our proposed running schedule (weather and staff permitting) means you can find us at historic Ellington Park every other sunday between 1pm and 4pm, but please check our ‘Events Calendar’ for the specific dates we are running and other events we are attending where we are using our 5" portable track. You may also wish to come and meet us at our informal Friday club night meetings (7:30pm) held at The Crampton Tower Museum, The Broadway Broadstairs Kent (Click to find).
