Full Fleet Presentation - Hutchison of Overtown. Code 3 Model Bus & Coach
Looking towards the Belshotmuir outstation for Hutchison of Overtown (Hutchison Coaches).
Pictured are two Volvo Wright Renowns, replicating both Y181BGB & Y182BGB of the real life Hutchison, painted in a different livery for the Queens Jubilee. Both 181 & 182 would see further work with First Glasgow following their takeover of Hutchison’s, and 182 survives now in preservation - kept at the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust (GVVT) at Bridgeton, having been repainted into as new state with the livery shown here.
To the right rear side is an Optare Delta, painted into the standard Hutchison livery, including Buggy Bus signage. This model was used as a stand in for the Optare Vecta & Excels used by the real company. Unfortunately I’ve found it impossible so far to get my hands on an Excel kit, however I feel the Delta does the job pretty well.
To right left side is a Super Low Floor Dennis Dart, again painted into the standard livery complete with Buggy Bus stickers. This model is also used as a stand in for a different bus type used in reality - that being an ALX300 with VRM - X304 JGE.
All models pictured are code 3 conversions of standard EFE releases. All have been dismantled, stripped and repainted (including interior detailing) and completed with a mixture of Sunrise & custom commissioned water slide transfers. All work is my own.
