The Engine Shed is a special interest group for autistic children, young people and adults. The club enables those with an interest in trains to come together with their peers to observe, play, talk and enjoy their hobby in a welcoming, safe and relaxing environment – and where parents/carers, as appropriate, can have a chance to relax, and talk in a supportive atmosphere. Model railways and train sets for all abilities are set up and a range of train-related resources are available for participants to play with.
