Y182 BGB - Hutchison of Overtown, 1:76 scale model. Volvo Wright Renown.
Wide Angle - Front view of Hutchison’s 182.
Pictured here at the temporary Belshotmuir depot, whilst the entire diorama undergoes significant investment and infrastructure changes, is the recently completed 1:76 scale model of Y182 BGB - a Volvo Wright Renown delivered new to the Lanarkshire independent bus & coach operator, which would last through ownership by First Glasgow and onwards into preservation. The application of correct Vehicle Registration Mark plates and reapplication of external mirrors signals the completion of this particular model which is celebrated with a photoshoot alongside two other stage carriage buses, both also bearing the standard company “Buggy Bus” signage. These are an Optare Delta which stands in for the Optare Vecta’s & Excels used by the real Hutchison’s, and a Dart SLF standing in to represent the real ALX300 used. To the right of the depot are two coaches representing the other aspects of the companies operations - Private Hire, Tours & Trips and Glasgow Express shuttle services.
