The Model Steamer Club has a history stretching back over 40 years as a group of Clyde steamer enthusiasts formed the club in the early 1970's to build and sail working 1:48 scale models of the paddle and turbine steamers which are such a huge part of Clyde shipping history.

The Model Steamer Club is based at Rouken Glen pond in East Renfrewshire. Modern diesel car ferries and other Merchant and Naval models can also be seen sailing at Rouken Glen on Saturday afternoons. Our scale model piers allow some practice at the difficult art of berthing. Particularly when a stiff breeze is blowing!

If you have an interest in building a model then come along and say hello. We have a wide range of experience to help you get going in what is a hugely rewarding and enjoyable hobby.
