David Bell Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Here is the current state of play with the bus station office. Signage is the main item outstanding. Cheers David 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted December 15, 2023 Author Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) Here is where I have got to with the trams. Cunarder on the left, Kilmarnock bogie on the right. Also in an attempt to create something that looks like Matthew Reid's Pub for the bus station scene I have again resorted to joining two Bachmann ready to plant buildings.Work in progress!

David Bell Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 This is what will sit behind the tenement Brian made. The big empty area in the middle will be Dundas St Bus Station. Wishing all on here the compliments of the season. Cheers David 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not do these but what i usually do is download the images from the net and print them on transfer paper, put the transfers on 5 thou plastic, spray over with matt varnish. I need to do an Irn Bru one! 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 I have made a little more progress with the bus station setting out pavements and walls. The blue wall will have a large Bluebird logo, apparently a feature of Alexander's bus stations. Behind the stepped wall at the back would be Cunningham Street which ran on an incline down towards the pub. Eastern Scottish used to run some services from a stance on this street because of congestion in the old Buchanan St. Bus Station so I plan to tuck a suitable double decker bus behind the wall,just the top will be visible.

Popular Post David Bell Posted January 30 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 30 I wanted to have stained glass windows for the pub. I found some suitable images online and printed them very small on transfer paper and applied these to the windows. 17 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 This is the first bus stance with basic block colours applied. Just needs further colouring, weathering and signs applied, then on to the next one! Looks like the express service from London has just pulled in 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bell Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Further background to the bus station. I am not quite settled on the final position of this building but this gives something of the idea. 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 I decided to make a Glasgow Corporation bus shelter. I started by cutting up some Wills windows and completed the rest from scrap offcuts of plastikard and microstrip. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunalastair Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Are you modelling the characteristic smell? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Unfortunately not complete accurate. The standard Glasgow Bus Shelter had three windows high like this example. https://images.app.goo.gl/FoLeQqhH2BwVRBqp6 I did one out of plastic strip and card Jim 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunalastair Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) If concern is about accuracy, then there does not look to be much room for pedestrians behind that shelter, never mind prams. If the pavement were that narrow, would the shelter not perhaps have been one of the designs with no end walls and a cantilevered roof? But I note that the glazing has been knocked out by the locals, so that is probably authentic. Edited February 20 by Dunalastair 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bell Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 The finished bus stop. The cream stripe under the roofline is a lining transfer. I figured that would be easier than painting it! 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 I have taken all the scenic sections off the boards and laid them out on the floor to check how they fit together and how they look. At the moment all this just lies loose on the boards. The only thing attached to the boards is the track. It will stay like that until the whole thing is brought down from the loft. In this picture the fiddle yard will be beyond the tenement at the top. The station is below the bridge at the bottom and the viewing side is from the right. 15 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
