Hope you can make it this year. I've checked back our records and think the only excuse you have left is the dog ate my advanced ticket!😉

Looking forward to seeing you again, always up for unloading an 80s layout no matter the size.

Don't worry with our new two day tickets you can make up for lost time!

Oh well, after many years I no need to keep checking this page for the latest update on the ScotRail Mk2z, the single coach pack and the twin pack have arrived, the single coach after many years, the twin after only a few months. Really pleased with them, but wasn't expecting the free "gift" with the twin pack. I didn't realise Bachmann had a link with Modelu. Thanks for keeping us updated over the years, it was appreciated.

Scotland's Summer show. Join us in Perth fir one of the UKs top exhibitions. New for 2023 a two day ticket is available.

According to the SDEG's recent book Scotland’s Diesel Fleet in Detail, ScotRail Express there were 5 TSOs from the original pool. 5146, 5152, 5153, 5176 and 5197 brought back for push pull operation. All painted into ScotRail. There were also 2 FKs 13411 and 13424 brought back of which 13424 was painted into ScotRail.

Was just watching the video about removing weathering and posted a comment on YouTube. I couldn't upload a picture of the before and after so have copied the comment here. Thanks for another really useful video which got me thinking about a ScotRail BG coach I bought second hand which was apparently professionally weathered. I felt it was too dirty. I'd has a go a few years back with 70% IPA which had little impact, this time I went for 99.9% IPA. Much better results. I did them give it a clean with soapy water to remove any left over IPA. Totally agree with your advice on checking prototypes, whilst some MK BG were manky, those in passenger rakes such as my ScotRail one would have been a bit cleaner as they would have gone through the carriage cleaner with the other passenger coaches in the rake I suspect. I

Not heard they are retooling them. Just hope they remember to correct the position of the ScotRail logo on the Mk2z ScotRail coaches. I did email them when they were first announced them and they confirmed it would be corrected.

Bachmann times reports Mk2z coaches available Winter 2022.

Planned engineering works is it a bus replacement service then?

They say Red Bull gives you wings, maybe Irn Bru does too!
