Within the SMET organisation, Perth & District MRC will function as an interest group, the identity of the club being maintained. This merger will ensure the long-term future of the club’s activities and has several advantages: The club will move, this summer to new permanent accommodation at the Wester Pickston Railway which is located a few miles west of Perth. As well as room to store and work on our layouts, there is also access to an established workshop and social facilities. The Wester Pickston Railway is situated in 7.25 acres of countryside and consists of outdoor railways in 7.25” and 5” gauges as well as an established 16 mm scale interest group. The addition of model railways from gauges N to O will enhance the activities on the site and create a centre of model railway engineering and railway modelling excellence in Scotland. The Wester Pickston Railway is open to the public 4 times per year and at other selected times. The model railways will also be open for viewing during these days. The well-respected “Celebration of Model Railways” exhibition held annually at the Dewars Centre in Perth will continue as normal, in 2019 the event is to be held on 29th & 30th June. This exhibition has been steadily built up over the last 27 years and its future as one of the UK’s top events is assured. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Torper Posted March 12, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2019 Is there any likelihood that Phoenix Paints will be coming? As I recall, they were due to come last year but for some reason had to pull out. DT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley47708 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 They are not on the list posted so far, but I appreciate the exhibition manager is still finalising the list of traders. I'll be at the club tonight and see if there is any update for you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley47708 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Sorry Torper looks like Pheonix Paints won't be at Perth this year. Squires will be there, I think they stock Railmatch though. Harburn and Ellen's Emporium will also be there but I can't recall whose paints they sell. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley47708 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 We are delighted to announce that we are hoping to have David Watson of Dean Park Station opening our show on the Saturday morning.
