The pleasant journey takes you around the lake at Ruislip Lido, with the line weaving its way through the ancient Ruislip Woods. There are two main stations on the line where passengers can start and finish their journey. Woody Bay station is beside the beach & children’s splash pad, and it is the oldest terminus on the line. The other station is Willow Lawn station, located next to the Turntable Tea Room and car park. It is also just a short walk away from the ‘Waters Edge’ pub & carvery. At Willow Lawn station, passengers can observe the locomotive being turned on the turntable, before the train heads back to Woody Bay.

Club activities
The Society continues to provide a public amenity in Roxbourne Park, Eastcote by running passenger services every Sunday afternoon  throughout the summer months. On Wednesday afternoons senior members gather for non-public running to reminisce and try out their new, or recently repaired, models. This group also find time to provide “Educational” visits for local schoolchildren. Usually this involves a short talk on the history of railways followed by free rides on the trains.
One of the other main social activities of the Society is the Winter Programme of events. The meetings take place on the second and fourth Wednesday evenings of every month from October to April. Held in the Club hut these usually start at 8pm. These consist of talks or film shows by outside or club speakers. There are also Club events including competitions, and displays of members’ current work. Normally the programme is published in the “Model Engineer” magazine – Club News section and of course on this website. Non-members interested in a particular event are welcome (members only at the AGM). Anyone interested in joining us will be most welcome – contact Secretary.

Heath Robinson Museum - Contraptions & Connections
26 Jul 2025
Heath Robinson Museum -  Contraptions & Connections
26 Jul - 26 Oct
Step into a joyful world where imagination meets engineering — and where the beautifully pointless becomes strangely profound.

Contraptions & Connections is a playful, thought-provoking exhibition that celebrates the delight of invention through quirky machines, moving sculptures, and the unmistakable charm of the absurd. From the beloved drawings of William Heath Robinson, the original ‘Gadget King’, to contemporary kinetic artists, automata makers and machine builders, the exhibition brings together a wonderfully eccentric mix of creators who turn the everyday into the extraordinary.

Heath Robinson’s humorous illustrations of absurdly complex machines built from string, spoons, kettles and corkscrews are known and loved around the world. His drawings, first published before the First World War, have since inspired generations of inventors, artists and engineers with their wit, warmth and technical fantasy.

But the fascination with automata and mechanical play stretches back thousands of years. From ancient Egyptian tombs to the intricate clockwork marvels of the 14th century, through to the lifelike machines of 18th-century Europe — such as Jaquet-Droz’s writing automata and Joseph Merlin’s famous Silver Swan — the desire to bring objects to life through motion has always captured the human imagination. By the 20th century, this evolved into seaside automata, tin toys, and laughing sailors — creations full of mechanical mischief and nostalgic charm.

In Contraptions & Connections, today’s artists pick up that tradition with a modern twist — using recycled materials, found objects, and clever engineering to make machines that do everything from drawing pictures to playing music or making you laugh.

Exhibition highlights include:

A musical machine made from piano and sewing machine parts by Fi Henshall
Recycled plastic fish that ‘swim’ in mid-air by Tim Lewis
A chalkboard that draws by itself by Jim Bond
Fantastical football automatons drawn by Michael Landy, inspired by Jean Tinguely
A rocking chair that doubles as an electric chair — darkly funny and unforgettable by Nancy Fouts
A steam-powered locomotive made entirely from bric-a-brac by Tim Ellis, inspired by Heath Robinson’s railway contraptions
Delightful kinetic creations by some of the most celebrated automata artists working today: Tim Hunkin, Keith Newstead, Carlos Zapata, and Paul Spooner
Who is it for?

This is a show for the curious and creative of all ages — whether you’re a young inventor, an artist who loves to tinker, a family looking for a fun day out, or simply someone who enjoys beautifully useless machines that make you smile.

Featured Artists:

William Heath Robinson, Tim Hunkin, Fi Henshall, Tim Lewis, Paul Spooner, Carlos Zapata, Jim Bond, Tim Ellis, Michael Landy, Nancy Fouts (1945–2019), Keith Newstead (1956–2020)

Contraptions & Connections invites visitors of all ages to celebrate the joy of mechanical imagination — the beautiful collision of art, science, storytelling and silliness.

The Museum is open 11:00 am to 4:00 pm Thursday through Sunday and Bank Holiday Mondays except Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day.

Pinner Women In Business Network 
Thursday 14th August 10.30 am to 12.30
Sarah Drakard started the Pinner Women In Business Network in 2014 and it grew to a huge group of supportive inspirational businesses who still pass her business now and vice versa. They meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month at The Three Wishes on Bridge Street Pinner. It's fairly informal networking - arrive, join us, order drinks and get chatting. About half way through they do a quick 1 minute intro so everyone gets to hear from everyone. Sarah brings her toddler to each meeting so you're very welcome to bring children or babies if you haven't got childcare or just fancy bringing them! The whole point is they are a group of women who understand the unique pressures women face in business and try to come together to support each other grow their businesses. They have a wide variety of businesses that attend and anyone is welcome!
