Diorama - Fire Station/Blue Light Campus. 1/76 (OO Gauge).

            Nearside view - combined legacy service vehicles, Grampian & Strathclyde FRS.

Another piece to the greater Belshotmuir model town diorama is near complete. 

Utilising the Kingsway kit of Gainsborough Fire Station, I’ve built a “Blue Light Campus” for the town, mixing all three emergency services. Strathclyde/Police Scotland will have a Road Policing Unit permanently based from an office here, while the Scottish Ambulance Service have agreed to designate it as a training station. Similar to the real life Maryhill and Calton Fire Stations in Glasgow, this means that one ambulance will be based here, as a sub-station. There will be a small shift of experienced Paramedics who will work from the station with Student Ambulance Technicians and Student Paramedics being used to crew the other half of shifts. 

A number of models are shown in these pictures, these include: Two Scania P280 Pump Ladder / Rescue Appliances, one each for legacy services Grampian and Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Services. Two Scania P340 Aerial Rescue Pump/ Aerial Ladder Pumps, one each for legacy Strathclyde FRS and unified Scottish Fire & Rescue Service. A MAN TGL (Emergency One) Pump Ladder/Rescue Appliance. The Emergency Ambulance (as opposed to an Urgent Tier or Patient Transport Service - PTS ambulances) is a Mercedes Benz Sprinter. Strathclyde Police are represented with a Land Rover Discovery. Two officers cars are also shown, a Mercedes & BMW. 

This should be one of the last buildings needing assembled for the wider diorama and will join Mossend District General Hospital which is affixed to its baseboard, the new bus depot - the baseboard for which still needs decoration and was borrowed for this photoshoot, a small convenience shop, a church, bus station, high rise block of flats and finally numerous houses.
