Welcome to the Wester Pickston Railway. Located in 7 acres of woodland in the Perthshire countryside about 3 miles out of Methven. The railway has an extensive 71/4″ and 5″ guage ground level track.
The mainline comprises of two circular routes extending to some 1 1/2 kilometres, there are numerous sidings and passing loops, two stations and a small halt, two unloading bays that can accommodate most locomotives and two turntables and steaming areas.
The track is mainly winding through woodland, with cuttings and embankments, a couple of bridges over ponds and a small tunnel. There are some fairly straight lengths and gradients up to 1:60 make it an interesting driving experience and pleasant views for the passengers. Steam vehicles cross the line in three places and can ferry people to Ducks End station.
