The Hamilton Model Engineering Club is gearing up for our 44th season!

First up is the All Clubs day on Sunday September 13, 2026 on the grounds of the Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology. 12 or so clubs in Ontario are invited to participate. This ranges from interests in steam engines, internal combustion engines, steam, electric or diesel trains, and aquatic models. The Golden Horseshoe Live Steamers operate 3 different gauges of model railway track on the Museum grounds and there will be free rides offered. We'd be happy to have visitors and guests but please reply by pm if you'd like to attend.

Next, HMEC's first regular meeting of the new season is on Tuesday September 15 in the Woodshed room at the Hamilton Museum of Steam and Technology. Coffee will be available around 7:00 pm with the meeting lasting from 7:30 to 9:30 pm. We look forward to seeing old friends and, as always, visitors and new members are most welcome.

Our club website (https://www.hamiltonmodelengineeringclub.com/) has also been updated with meeting dates for the coming year. Check it out.
