It is our intention to present around 46 layouts which is our biggest selection yet! We are also going to have the best and fully comprehensive trade support and will again be including some seminars and demonstrations to help show you how its done. Once again, we will have Hornby in attendance and we are pleased that they come to Perth to show some of their latest developments and releases. We also will have some scale/gauge specialist societies as well as those representing the historical and preservation side of our interests. All this will take place as usual in the Dewars Centre within two halls and we hope you can come along and be inspired by what we will have on show.

    Still one small one left in Perth today. Waverley47708

    Really enjoying a look at your photos always like a bit of 1980s action preferably pre sprinter though! Re 47522 the reason for the repaint was a crash at Forteviot in 1982 when it hit a tractor on the level crossing. http://www.class47.co.uk/c47_zoom_v3.php?img=0831050000210 Waverley47708

    Happened to be in Alness today and popped into Lidl hoping they would still be there and in their reduced section - no sign of any left. Lots of rigs in the Cromarty Forth tonight looking like large floating Christmas trees. Happy New Year.

    I am also looking forward to welcoming you to the Show in Perth next year. You can be assured of a warm welcome next summer, especially from me a mid 80s Scotish Modeller from the club. Only 139 sleeps until Perth 2014!!! Waverley47708

    Have joined BRCoachingStock · BR loco-hauled coaching stock 1948-97 and found these files, marhsalling books. Worth a look interestingly the 1984 version uses TSO etc, but from the 1985 version AAC1 etc are used instead. They are alphabetical you will find under G for Glasgow the details of Glasgow trains heading through Carstairs and in the same section Glasgow/Edinburgh trains heading though Carstairs. For the combined Glasgow Edinburgh (including the two that start in Aberdeen and Dundee) servcies the only slight difficutly is that it list the train as formed at Carstairs as in both portions together, it is not altogether clear where the spilt was, the RMB or RBR tends to be in the middle, from memory I think they came form the Edinburgh portion but it is not clear from the marshalling books. For the northbound services you will need to look up the starting point Bristol, Birmingham, Penzance etc. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32711444/Carriage_workings/LMR/LMR_1983_PTMC.pdf https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32711444/BRCS-Files/LMR_1984_PTMC_Ted-Robinson.pdf https://dl.dropbox.com/u/32711444/Carriage_workings/LMR/LMR_1985_PTM.pdf I also have a book that lists loco diagrams, for the 1985/86 one ,I once worked out that you needed around 11 47s to cover all of the Edinburgh to Carstairs services on a given day, mainly 47/4s with a few 47/7s such as the May 1985 May 1986 Dundee to Poole service as far as Carstairs.

    Despite having never gone to Carstairs in the 1980s I had an interest in it and the portion trains. I used to go to Waverley on Saturdays in 1985/6 catching either the portion train from Dundee or Aberdeen from Inverkething as far as Waverley. The Dundee to Poole one was the Wessex Scot, the Aberdeen to Penzance was The Cornishman in 1986 and possibly before and since then the portion train originating in Aberdeen was called the Devon Scot. I am a bit unclear on this, the May to Sept 1986 timetable has the Aberdeen to Penzanze service as The Cornishman, the Aberdeen to Plymouth may have been the Devon Scot, although it does not appear in the May to Sept 1986 timetable. Getting either of them to Waverley was a bit more interesting than a 101 from Cowdenbeath or Kirkcaldy in those days. On arriving at Waverley the portion trains via Carstairs tended to throw up the most interesting workings for the rest of the day as we sat at the end of Plt 14 watching them come and go into Plt 10 and 11. They would be a 47 from almost anywhere on them and a rake of Mk2 air cons with a Mk1s making up the train. On Satudays they tended to be fairly lengthy trains 6 to 8? From memory most had a full brake next to the loco when heading South from Waverley and an RMB at the rear. The two that originated North of Edinburgh arrived with the RMB next to the loco from the North and left Waverly with it at the rear of the train, these two services passing twice through Haymarket. I thinkthe reaosn for this was so that the RMB ended up in the middle of the train when combined at Carstairs. Have seen photos of trains consisting of a 47 and as few as 4 x Mk2 air cons coaches. There is a series of Scottish videos on you tube from the 80s, one of which features what I think is a portion train arriving, will clarify later. Tragically my Yesterday's ScotRail video (which despite being a bit shaky is brilliant) has an hour of 1985 action, most of it is at Waverley, yet it has no shots of portion trains. Some trains were named, off the top of my head The Wessex Scot, The Cornishman, The European (Harwich Park Quay) The Principality (Cardiff). There was at least one other names one the Midland Scot I think. Others were unnamed. Never saw them myself but have seen photos of relief services to Carstairs from Edinburgh with 26s, or pairs of 20s with Mk1 stock. No idea if these met up with relief services from Glasgow or what happened to them once they got to Carstairs. I would doubt a 26 or a pair of 20 ran all the way down the WCML. Waverley47708

    The story is back on the front pages of the Perth and Perthsire edition of Courier again today. Sorry I can not find a link at the moment to attach. It claimes "Scottish Government officials have held talks with Transform Scotland regarding a feasibility study the latter carried out"
