Code 3 - McGill’s Mercedes Citaro Model Bus in 1/76.
Wide overview of Belshotmuir Bus Depot and Street. Picture includes Post Office Ford Transit entering depot grounds, with four McGills buses at rest within. These include - Dennis Dart SLF, Volvo Wright Renown, Mercedes Benz Citaro & Wright Eclipse Urban. In the foreground, an orange Optare Solo minibus with First Glasgow fleet markings, and wearing the SPT (Strathclyde Partnership for Transport) MyBus livery, sets down at a bus stop. The red roof of an Avondale Dart SLF is seen passing in the opposite lane.
In reality -
A couple of months ago I completed a Code 3 repaint of a CMNL Mercedes Citaro into the livery of McGills, a familiar operator to those in the Glasgow and West of Scotland. I held a small photoshoot alongside the rest of my admittedly small fleet of McGills Buses which includes a Dart SLF, Wright Renown & Corgi OM46016A - a Wright Eclipse Urban. Annoyingly I then completely forgot to post the pictures until now.
Pictured here at the former Belshotmuir Depot is my current fleet of McGills, with a First Glasgow Optare Solo seen passing by. The Solo is in the livery of, and on service to SPT MyBus.
All models are in 1:76 scale (OO Gauge). Code 3 means a standard production model (Code 1) which has been altered, in this case having been dismantled, stripped and repainted with water slide transfers applied.
