THIRTY-YEARS seems to be the typical time interval between the introduction of a BR EMU type and the arrival of a mainstream model in either ‘OO’ or ‘N’ gauge. Introduced in 1989 and 1990, the Class 320 and Class 321 family of 25kV AC EMUs is a notable example, with the first models arriving in February of this year in ‘N’ gauge.
They are particularly welcome additions to the Revolution Trains range. Some small compromises to save on tooling costs are apparent which is understandable. However, the standard range of Class 320s in ScotRail SPT and Saltire liveries opens out the modelling of the Glasgow suburban whilst main line suburban Class 321s are going to ease the modelling of West Coast and Great Eastern themed layouts.
The review model (also covering the Class 321s) is the limited edition model of SPT Class 320 No. 320306 produced in time for the 2022 Model
