North West Leicestershire Society of Model Engineers

Welcome to the NWLSME Website

The North West Leicestershire Society of Model Engineers website is where anyone, either club members or someone wanting to visit can find information relating to our society.

This website offers a number of features such as an image gallery, information about our society, an events calendar and a copy of the latest journal.

If you want to contribute articles to the site - even if you are not a member (yet) - then you need to open an account. Once approved as an Author, you will be able to edit and submit articles online. Articles that are relevant to our Club's activities and which meet with our standards of decency and taste will be published. If you need further information on submitting articles then contact the Club Secretary or the Webmaster.

Please Note: I had to remove automatic registration from the website as, within two hours of becoming available, there were over 20 users registered with non-descript names and email addresses. As these were most likely not club members I deleted them before they could harm the site. Until I have improved the auto sign-up process, any club members requiring a sign-in should email the webmaster. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If your PC has sound enabled then you should be hearing the sounds of 70018 leaving Crewe.

Although not formally part of our site yet, there are two other locomotive soundtracks you can select which are: 70051 leaving Crewe (the closest to 70050 I could get and 61087 leaving York.
