Established around 1960, our club exists to promote the hobby of Railway Modelling in and around Perthshire, Scotland. We meet every Monday and Thursday evening at our club room near Kinfauns near Perth and always welcome new members to come along for a look around before joining.

We have 8 exhibition standard layouts at the moment, described on this site and are working on one major project at present: "Laurencekirk", based on Laurencekirk on the "WCML", north of Montrose, set in the late 1950's - early 1960's. We are also planning our next N scale American layout. 

Two of our club members have commenced building a HO layout set in Canada and rumour has it that another member has an American logging layout in planning! Additionally, maintenance work on the existing layouts keep us busy throughout the year. We have some photos and video of our layouts on this site - have a look at our layout pages!

We run one of the most eagerly anticipated and reputable model railway exhibitions in Scotland "A Celebration of Model Railways" always held in Dewars Ice Rink in Perth over the last weekend in June. A selection of high quality layouts from throughout the UK, some appearing in Scotland for the first time and a wide selection of specialised trade stands awaits our visitors. See more details elsewhere on this site.

Our next exhibition is on Saturday June 29th & Sunday June 30th, 2013.

We also attend around 12 exhibitions every year throughout the UK and our diary is available from this website.

Club News (Updated 18.12.2012):

14/12/12:  We have decided to retire our N Scale exhibition layout Burlington Central after its final appearance took place at Warley last month.  During its 10 year life on the circuit, it attended 40 exhibitions and we were very pleased with the reception it received wherever it went.  We would like to offer the layout for sale as we are reluctant to break it up. Please see the layout's description on its page on this site. We are looking for offers around £800 and if you are interested please contact our Secretary (secrerary@perthmrc.com).

We are planning to build a replacement layout, possibly ready in 2014. Keep visiting for more updates on its progress.

18/12/12:  We now have a Membership Secretary who is the contact person for anyone looking to join the club. Please contact  membershipsec@perthmrc.com if you would like to join, are interested in joining or come along for a visit to find out more about our activities.

9/01/13:  We've started adding details of what and who is coming to our 2013 exhibition!

4/03/13:  Exhibition update - Exhibition Manager's Diary to start again soon on the 2013 Exhibition Page where you can follow up to date progress. One exciting development for this year is that we are adding to our popular seminars. In addition to those run by DCC Supplies Ltd, we are also pleased to announce that Paul Chetter will conduct two seminars specialising in sound projects and will also be conducting sound clinics and advice demonstrations. These seminars are run on a first come first served basis so to ensure your reservation, please contact exhibitionmanager@perthmrc.com to book your place.
