Holland - Modelbouwvereniging
Modelbouwvereniging Het Y, based in the Spaarnwoude Recreation Area between Amsterdam and IJmuiden in Holland, is a growing club that supports all aspects of steam. To help us support our members we have an extensive workshop that is 7 days-a-week open, an ever growing library and an active core group of knowledgeable members (some from industry and / or educational backgrounds). We also have a 7 1/4 inch track next to the clubhouse that we run every Sunday during the summer months (so long that the weather holds dry).

Ontario - Frontenac Society of Model Engineers
Battersea, ON - The Frontenac Society of Model Engineers Inc. (FSME) is a society whose members have a common interest in Model Engineering.
Our mission is to foster an appreciation of and continue the knowledge of machinery, transport and equipment, from the industrial revolution to the present day. This is typically achieved by recreating, in miniature, working or non-working models of any kind of machinery or transport item, be they powered by steam, internal combustion, electricity, or other means.
On the model railway front, we own a coal fired 3-1/2" gauge Hudson (4-6-4) steam locomotive for members use, so you don't have to build your own to join in the fun!
Our tracks include 7-1/4" gauge ground level, running through field and trees, and multi gauge elevated tracks. The club has 100 feet of 3-1/2" gauge, and 100 feet of 7-1/4" gauge, portable track that can be set up at local shows, for demonstrations and to give rides to the public.
