Luke Piewalker Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It was a cracking show, good balance of trade and layouts, and a wide selection of scales, eras and subjects. Only downside was it gets very warm in there, but once you have the doors open not much else you can do about that really! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted June 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 25, 2016 Went today and it was great to meet old friends, and some new ones from this group. At last I saw the layout tribute to Steve Titherage, and kings park, but there were also some stunning other layouts, in fact too many to mention here. This day trip from Liverpool reminded me what a show should be about, layouts, laughs, friendships, stockists and specialists. Totally recommended by me, visit if you can. Cheers Dave Think I saw you Dave. You showing new 71 to guy at DCC supplies? Great show as you said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60159 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Excellent show yet again, well done Perth. Attended today en masse by 70% of the Scottish Region Study Group (not hard maths given only 10 of us in total!) with notable absence of man in checked shirt. Great to have the guys and some of the wives meet up at our place in Glasgow Road pre and post show. A good day and certainly better than Thursday night/Friday morning.

DJM Dave Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Think I saw you Dave. You showing new 71 to guy at DCC supplies? Great show as you said Hi mate. Yup I was there but at the Digitrains stand (DCC supplies didn't attend), having a good natter and blocking the stand for customers. :-( Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm81 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 We aren't going to make it. The little one, who usually sleeps well in the car, fussed more than once on our way to our overnight stop. Then it transpired by the noises the wife's car was making as I parked up those brakes I've been saying need attention for 18 months haven't been addressed. The only course of action available was to allow the car to cool down overnight then come back home. It's surprising how little you need the brakes with a good degree of forward planning and light traffic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill s Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Visited the show for the first time yesterday. Very pleased with what I saw. All the layouts were fantastic! Spent a bit of money mind you............... Note to the organisers for next year: please have some indication available when the car park is full. 10.00am and all parking at the centre full up! Just a minor point but an important one. Thanks for organising a really great show! Will definitely be back next year............ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Piewalker Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 After seeing the car park the first time I went, I have always operated in the assumption it will be full an preemptively parked elsewhere... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Legend Posted June 26, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 26, 2016 Yes I see what Bill means having circuited the underground car park fruitlessly in the past . I now just park in the station £3 a day not bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 40-something Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Another fantastic show, hats off to Stan and the rest of the Perth Club for continuously running the best show in Scotland by far, and a fitting 25th Anniversary show Had a great time exhibiting Milton Street MPD (despite the electrical gremlins and operator idiocity), catching up with old friends, and making new ones. Its what the hobby is all about! Till next year!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hi everyone, Just wanted to add my thanks to Stan and the team at Perth for putting on another cracking exhibition. There were a lot of very good layouts and good selection of trade. I hope it's been a success and will see you all again next year. All the best, Mark (Scottish Modellers/DEMU) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEM63A Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hello All, Recovering nicely after a busy but enjoyable weekend. Thanks to everyone who came whether exhibiting or as a viewer. Will add a note about trophy winners and a bit more about the highlights soon. Regards, Stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley47708 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Enjoyed the show and Almond Bridge ran well, first time it had been out for a while. The Biomass wagons ran without any issues and looked impressive as they made their way slowly round the outside track. I made a few purchases including a Green Diesel for Waverley 85/86. No need to worry though D200/40122 was definitely seen in and around Waverley in1986! Enjoyed seeing Loughborough in blue grey having seen it twice before in modern image guise. Tried to paste in a link to a video report from a local newspaper, however can't paste the link at the moment. If interested try the www.courier.co.uk and search for model rail 350 or so sleeps until Perth 2017 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinWales Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 On behalf of the Kinmundy Krew I would like to thank Stan and all his team for the show and the hospitality show to us as exhibitors Not many could have said that they traveled through three countries to attend, but the near 850 mile round trip was well worthwhile! And a big thanks to Mike Dave Maurice and Babs who made the evenings eventful too.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEM63A Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Here are the award winners! Best in Show - public vote was Peter Goss for The Worlds End, Knaresborough. Peter also won the Ten Commandments/Green Scene award for architectural modelling. The Robert Bruce Memorial Shield was awarded to Thistle Model Makers for the technological wizardry behind their layout Ausfahrt Sud. The Jimmy Robertson Cup for scenic modelling was awarded to Brian Thompson of Greenock MRC for his detailed modelling on Kilbowie. The Best in Show trophy has been changed this year and will be known from now on as The Harburn Hobbies Shield. Many thanks to Bob and Gillian at Harburn Hobbies for providing the shield.

SEM63A Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 First reflections on the show: Good feedback from visitors and exhibitors alike with positive comments regarding the diversity of layouts and trade on offer. I thought pete Goss was a worthy winner of best in show but was also very taken with the scale model of the Forth Bridge build by Alan Ramsay and Lorraine Pritchard. The Scammell Scarab, our first venture into 12"/foot scale exhibit was very popular. Iain told me he was talking most of the weekend and it was great watching it being driven into the hall on the Friday morning. There are so many other comments, too numerous to mention here but once again the exhibition is a success because of everyone who exhibits and trades over the weekend as well as the people who support it by coming to see what is there. many thanks to all.

RMweb Gold Manxcat Posted July 7, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2016 A visitor to the show kindly made a video of my layout Fairhaven Road and posted it on YouTube. Here is the link. https://youtu.be/Q6Y4Zpguxu8 His channel also has very good videos of a number of the other layouts which were there. Thanks for inviting us Stan and we are looking forward to bringing Max Fowler's layout, The Maxwell Colliery Loading point, to the show next year.
