Each year we attempt to include a prototype tour of some sort.

In 2026 we were hosted at the Burnaby Central Railway.

Stay tuned for what we can arrange in 2027.

About BCSME

The BC Society of Model Engineers designed, built and operates the Burnaby Central Railway with over 2 miles of 7.5″ gauge track located in Confederation Park. There are 13 raised parallel steaming bays with 8 additional roundhouse bays. There are eleven 60′ sidings (ground level).

BCR operates three battery-powered miniature electric and diesel locomotives, as well as a gas powered hydraulic engine.

The most prized engines are four hand-crafted steam engines: each locomotive has been built from drawings, patterns and castings, and then machined, fabricated, into a finely detailed 1/8 scale miniature of the full-sized prototype
