MODEL engineers from West Somerset are helping Taunton Model Engineers to stage its diamond year exhibition in Monkton Heathfield Community School, near Taunton, on April 14.
Because the 60th anniversary makes it a special occasion, a number of guest modelling clubs from Somerset and Devon will be attending to show off some of their finest models.
On display will be a range of model traction engines, trains, boats, aircraft, historic engines, clocks, tools, scientific instrument, and much more.
Other societies attending include the Tone Vale Model Boat Club, Blackdown Hills Radio Controlled Model Aircraft Club, and societies from Yeovil, Tiverton, South Somerset, Huntspill, and Bristol.
The exhibition will be open from 10 am to 4 pm on both days.
Taunton Model Engineers was formed in June, 1946, and staged its first exhibition in the spring of 1947.
It has grown in size and diversity over the years and now has more than 100 members, who today are as likely to be building or restoring old or replica engines as building steam engines.
TME has two public running tracks in Vivary Park, Taunton, and in Creech St Michael, where the public can see and smell engines in steam and can ride on trains.
