LittleLEC is an annual locomotive efficiency competition for drivers of small locomotives weighing less than 50lb dry. These are much more challenging to drive than larger ones, and so this competition was devised by Peter Langridge in the 'noughties', enabling owners of small locomotives to take part in an IMLEC style efficiency competition.
The competition is ususally held at a different Model Engineering Society's track each year, up, down, and across the country to allow a different set of locomotive owners to take part without having to travel great distances. This various tabs on this Home Page will take you to a comprehensive set of information about the history of the competition, its nature, and the efficiency calculations. The organisers would like to encourage owners of small locomotives to take up the challenge of entering this event.
This years event will be held on 13th-14th September 2025 at the Tiverton and District MES
