PIETERMARITZBURG MODEL ENGINEERING SOCIETY

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.
