Detailing/Repainting Workbench
Callander - ScotRail OO Gauge replied to ellss's topic in Modifying & Detailing RTR stock
Coming along well, still working on my 318, repainted it several times into SPT but somethings not working right. Practice makes perfect though. -
Two of the most recent projects now complete and seen on Greenhill: 320320 now finally has the National Express ScotRail swoosh logos applied whilst 318252 has now been fully repainted into a coarse but acceptable SPT Carmine & Cream livery with all transfers applied, although not exactly realistic in this livery, I’ve decided to keep the unit information on the front of the driving trailers rather than repaint the entire front ends to be realistic, but I’ve dirtied up the fronts and roofs to give a “heavily used” appearance, common on the class in the early 2000s.

Well then, big long break from this thread, was expected tbh due to covid, but back at the workbench again with a long-awaited project and that was to attain an SPT Class 318 for the layout. We changed location at the start of the year as you know to the small Coatbridge suburb of Greenhill with the station being located less than a mile from Coatbridge Sunnyside towards Coatdyke. So at the end of last year, I bought a Bratchell Models Class 318 kit with the intention of putting into SPT livery, but after much consideration and that I had an Orange 318 that I didn’t need, I sacrificed into the SPT livery, I’m quite pleased with how its looking so far, but it’s nowhere near finished, still needs transfers and tidying up, but you get the overall picture. Project 318 is well underway!

Scots We Hae: Scottish RMWeb Layouts

Electrics return to the topic! Westburn Park situated in the eastern suburbs of Cambuslang about 10 miles southeast of Glasgow Central. -
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.

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.

Any progress on the layout since last time?
