The Gravesend Model Marine &  Engineering Society

The Gravesend Model Marine and Engineering Society (GMMES) is a small friendly club, whose home track is situated in North Kent overlooking the estuary of the river Thames. We have a fine 1218ft. long raised track, catering for 3½" & 5" gauge locomotives. Each Sunday afternoon from 2:00pm until 5:00pm, from early spring to late autumn (British summer time), we carry passengers of all ages from 2 to 92.

As well as our normal Sunday afternoon running, throughout the season we hold Special Events (see side panel). These attract people from far and wide; the Halloween and Santa runs are particularly popular. Another popular occasion is our annual Charity Event, where the proceeds from all of the tickets sold on the day are donated to a well known local or national charity. The dates and times for Special Events and normal Sunday running can be checked on this website.

Please spend a while exploring our website. We have tried to include something for everyone. Whether you are looking for something to keep the children amused on a Sunday afternoon, or you are a potential new member. Whether you are a member of another model engineering society, or maybe you are already a member of GMMES and need to refresh your memory on club meeting dates etc, we hope you will find something of interest.
