Scottish Model Engineering Trust

The Scottish Model Engineering Trust(SMET) has grown. We now have a model railway section. The Perth and District Model Railway Club has moved into a new clubhouse at Wester Pickston.

We are excited by the new arrival which we believe will make the trust unique in Scotland having miniature railways in scales from N gauge upto 7 1/4 inches and miniature road vehicles of various sizes. We want to create a centre of excellence for everyone with a passion for modelling and encourage the next generation into a rewarding hobby. Whether you are 8 or 80 you are very welcome.

The website has changed to incorporate our new members. There are 4 main sections to this new site – Wester Pickston Railway(WPR), Miniature Road Vehicles(MRV), Perth and District Model Railway Group(PMRG) and Perth Model Railway Show.

Select one of the buttons below to find out more information on what interests you. Each section has a contact page where you can send a message to a SMET member with an interest in that category. They will reply to your queries.

All Aboard for 2020

A Message from the SMET Chairman Phil Shephard –

It was decided to “Cancel / Postpone the approaching Easter Sunday open day. We will look to extend our season into September once the situation becomes clearer”.

Regarding the Perth Model Railway Show –

Perth Exhibition 2020 – Cancelled

Today, with a heavy heart but knowing it is the right thing to do, the Trustees of Scottish Model Engineering Trust along with the Exhibition Manager decided that it was no longer viable to run the Perth exhibition this year. The continued uncertainty and with peoples’ health and well being in mind meant that only one decision could be made. We will be back in 2021 however and have been planning a great show which we can all enjoy once the virus crisis has been resolved.

Public Running Days

All Public Running for 2020 is cancelled until further notice.
