Y182 BGB in both Hutchison of Overtown & First Glasgow liveries. 1:76 scale, Code 3 EFE models.

            Y182 BGB, currently in preservation and stored at the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust (GVVT) in Bridgeton, was delivered new to Hutchison of Overtown, a well respected independent bus & coach operator serving Lanarkshire, Glasgow and offering Scottish, UK and European tours. In 2007, with the owner deciding to retire, Hutchison’s operations, depot, vehicle and many staff passed into the ownership of First Glasgow/Lanarkshire. 182 was one of those vehicles, and was quickly repainted into the standard First Barbie livery. 

This 1:76 scale, Code 3 Exclusive First Editions (EFE) model represents this stage of 182’s operational life. Minor exterior changes have been made, with mirrors painted yellow and correct fleet numbers (66282) and Vehicle Registration Mark plates applied. The interior has undergone more alteration, with seats being painted purple to match the standard First Bus moquette. As with the real 182, the model keeps its seat handles, safety bars and grab rails in the original yellow colour. The model has cut and painted cocktail sticks insitu to represent the grab bars. Additional detailing includes the placing of a bandit screen to protect the driver, along with a protective passenger screen behind the doors. Onboard signage and a “bus stopping” display board have been painted on. The models destination board displays First Glasgow service 240 for Lanark via Wishaw originating at Buchanan Bus Station.
