Description
The Pietermaritzburg Model Engineering Society was originally formed in 1922, after an extensive inactive period it was resurrected in the 1970's. After using various venues, including member's homes, for meetings etc, it was decided that a permanent base had to be found at which a track could be laid and normal club activities could take place. Following an intensive search for a suitable venue the present site at 78 Rudling Road was identified, the city council sent two of their members to assess the land, in their report the conclusion stated that "if anyone can make any use of that land they are welcome to it!". Needless to say, the lease was duly signed in 1985 for an initial period of 20 years followed by an optional period of five years giving us a total of 25 years.
Company description
The community, in particular the more disadvantaged members, are also not forgotten, it is our committed aim to include a number of parties for various organisations that look after the disadvantaged during each year. If this can give them a little enjoyment in their sometimes trying lives, then we have succeeded. The joy that is witnessed on these occasions being experienced by the children is utterly overwhelming to say the least and extremely gratifying that a difference could be made.
We have also undertaken to assist our own members with the provision of club facilities for those who are just starting out and for those who do not have the means to acquire the necessary equipment. In the workshop we have a drill press, milling machine, lathe, welder, bench grinder, bending rolls, cut-off saw and two compressors as well as some of the necessary hand tools. Amongst the completed railway /rolling stock we now have two steam locos, two diesel locos, ten passenger cars, a track sweeper and a weedkiller spray car. These are all the result of club projects that have involved at least some of the novices.
