The DUBLIN SOCIETY OF MODEL AND EXPERIMENTAL ENGINEERS (DSMEE) exists to promote and support the development of the model engineering hobby by providing support, encouragement and facilities to interested people.
Our mission is to preserve the skills of model engineers, and the models produced by them, for future generations so they can be enjoyed by future enthusiasts and the public alike.

Changes to the Railway
(posted 19-03-2024)
Visitors to Marlay Park may have noticed that much of the station on the miniature railway has disappeared. This is not a bad omen for the future of the railway, but is necessary maintenance to accommodate new and exciting changes to the railway, such as a much longer and interesting track layout, and the lifting of the current restriction whereby only children can travel on the railway. No more disappointed parents! We will also be adding a special coach capable of carrying wheelchair users on the railway. Station construction is expected to commence shortly.
In the workshop, locomotives are being overhauled to ensure that they can cope with the demands of the new line. Photos of ongoing work will be posted in the Gallery page.
As work progresses, further news, updates and photos will be posted here.

Every summer, the society offers free train rides to children every Saturday from 14:00 to 16:30, weather permitting. This year, we hope to kick off our running season on Saturday the 4th of May.
However, due to maintenance and expansion work (see left), this date may be pushed back and rescheduled. Any further news will be posted here.
