Long time ago in the last century as a child I remember travelling from Glasgow to Helensburgh on Blue BR Electric trains (1968 1975). EMU I have a train set and wondering if some expert out there could tell me model of EMU this is, and its availability to run on a HO track. and is it available new or used
regards
It's a class 303.
DC Kits make a kit for it. There's a photograph of one built by Darren Sherwood who is a professional model builder at
These are craft kits and I don't know how suitable they are for a beginner. Most of this type of kit aren't.
I haven't seen a ready-to-run model.
I'd agree that the DC Kits products are not like your average Airfix kit. However, don't be detered. I took the plunge recently and I've been making steady progress with a 2-car DMU. Just don't expect it to be built in an evening!
Also, you mentioned HO track - these are OO models so might look a little over scale compared with HO stock.
