My last layout plans were subsequently scrapped due to insufficient storage space. So here’s a new idea that’s been in the pipeline for the last few weeks. Trying to recreate the Cumbernauld Line (with modellers licence) if it was electrified in the 1990s through to the early 21st century. So what better way than to model an accurate representation of Greenfaulds Station (called Condorrat for legal reasons) stock is made up of Realtrack, Hornby and Bachmann DMUs and Bratchell Models EMU kits. All modern image and either in various ScotRail liveries or SPT’s Orange & Black or Crimson & Cream demonstrated by 320303.

Hi,

 

That's an interesting idea, with potential for a lot of variety in terms of shape and colour.  Would it be safe to assume that you like the idea of watching trains run in the landscape (as it's plain track all the way)?  The early '90s would have seen the beginning of the end of the first generation units, and the takeover by 156s.  Occasional forays by 158s and 150/2s are also an option, though SPT wasn't fond of the 3+2 seating in the latter.  I'll watch this as it develops.

 

Good luck with this.

 

Regards,

 

Alex.

I do have a few Class 101s and two 158s, the scenery work should hopefully begin soon, I’ve recently just added a third 320 to the fleet. It’ll come in an update rather soon once a few bits have changed. Would be nice to have a 303.

Hi again,

 

Good to see this continuing.  Have you come to any decisions about scenics, e.g rolling countryside, or the back-end of one of the local industrial estates?  That said, your choice of stock does allow you a great deal of flexibility should you decide to move to another part of the region.

 

Will keep watching.

 

Regards,

 

Alex.

The whole idea is to build the scenery up as I go along. With the likely situation being situated in a fairly industrial and town scene somewhere in Central Scotland.

A little bit of work has happened shown here as Virgin CrossCountry 43093 “Lady in Red” leads a fully liveried HST set southbound to Plymouth as a pair of Class 320s arrive at Platform 1 with a service to Dalmuir via Glasgow Central Low Level. The new setup gives plenty of scope for running every unit/set that passed through Cambuslang from around 1997 to 2011, and also adding the Class 800 and 390 in Avanti West Coast.
