[Aug 26, 2018] Wester Pickston Railway Open Day (Glenalmond, Perthshire)

Scottish Model Engineering Trust Open Day – Sunday 26th August

The Scottish Model Engineering Trust (SMET) is delighted to welcome visitors to the Wester Pickston Railway, Glenalmond for the final open day of 2018 on Sunday 26th August. Visitors will be made more than welcome to come and ride the miniature trains from 11:30am until 4pm.

Visitors will be able to travel around the recently expanded and lengthened track, sit back and enjoy watching locomotives of all sizes pull passengers both young and old around the half mile track and see quarter scale traction engines and steam lorries in action.

Visitors can see how the Trust have created the railway and models and see other ways in which the Trust is keeping Scotland’s proud engineering heritage alive for future generations to enjoy and wonder at.

Passengers can alight at our pond-side halt station, look at model boats, traction engines, steam lorries and marvel at the 16mm gauge outdoor railway. Look at the new extended track, new tunnel and what the volunteers have been up in recent weeks.

To get to the railway, visitors should turn onto College Road from the A85 opposite the Post Office in Methven. The railway is approximately 3 miles north on the right and sign posts showing the way are provided on the day.
