RMweb Premium Legend Posted April 6, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2023 Yep. Relatives warned - no one to get Married that weekend . I haven't been daft enough to book a holiday straddling the weekend like I did last year , so hopefully this year I'll get to attend. I'm hoping Scotrail will be running an HST on the Aberdeen service , knowing my luck it'll be a Turbostar and I'll do Glasgow - Perth on a good old Mk3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted April 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Happy to confirm that NGS Forth & Clyde Area Group will be providing a stand at the show. It;s still to be decided what the demo's will be. Scenics/buildings a possible subject. Also kit built rolling stock from the NGS kit range plus Coach building with etched brass. Might well have some 3D printed stuff on the stand - depends on it being delivered on schedule!

Waverley47708 Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) We are taking two layouts to our show this summer. Neither have been seen at Perth before. Both are set on the Western side of North America. Calafountain our new N Gauge features more trees than you can shake a stick at! A river, a family of bears and long freight trains. San Andreas Beach is a large O Gauge layout layout featuring orange blossom trees, a beach and some lovely O Gauge rolling stock.

Nigelcliffe Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 The pictures above all look excellent, so I'll have lots to look at in the "down time". I'm setting off early on Friday to assist Chris with Cadhay Sidings setup and operating.

40152 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Want to say a massive thank you and congratulations to the organisers and exhibitors for another excellent Perth show today. Hats off to all for keeping going in the heat! Kilbowie was my personal fave, but a close second was the fascinating Shuri Koya. Always good to see something completely different for new inspiration. Well worth the trip and the money. Cheers, ’152 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
