New Strathtay models join Forfar Depot.

            This picture shows my two most recent Code 3, Alexander Y Type, models. Passing each other on a Dundee street are Strathtay Buses and Stagecoach Fife Scottish vehicles. 

Two new Code 3 repaints join the (already healthy) numbers at Prior Road, Forfar. 

I have wanted to add a Leyland National to the Strathtay fleet, as a nod to WBW 735X, which is preserved in Strathtay Scottish livery. As per the real bus, this 1:76 scale representation is podless (without the rear roof pod). 

Yet another Leyland Leopard, Alexander Y Type also joins the fleet. A long window, coach seated example. 

Both models, originally by Exclusive First Editions (EFE), were fully dismantled, stripped to bare metal, primed and repainted and finished with transfer sets from Sunrise Models & Transfers. Thus they are “Code 3”. They are 1/76 scale, or OO Gauge, diecast model buses and are my own work.

Strathtay Scottish was launched on Monday 17th of June 1985. Starting with 63 buses from Northern & 63 from Midland. Yorkshire Traction bought Strathtay in June 1991, for £1.11 million, allegedly narrowly defeating an offer made by employees and management.
