We are in the last stages of completing an 18 month project, for the MKIII Interior refresh for Albelio Greater Anglia, as a sub-contractor for Vossloh. The scope of our project was to strip, prep, prime and paint each unit, including seat bases, buffet cars, toilets, vestibules and ceilings. All the work has been completed in conjunction with AGA/Vossloh Schedules. Additional elements that we have managed include applying lamigraf to the draft screens, powder coating grab poles and handles, refitting the seats and tables and reapplying the decals.

We have an ongoing project with Aljac Aluminium Castings , SCC receive a rough casting of fuel monitoring components we then fill and prime any unfinished areas so they are inclusion free, they are then painted with several layers of Scothkote EA9 Paint system and polished to a high standard.

We are currently working on a full internal and external refurbishment of 43 x class 158 vehicles, consisting of 1 x MOS vehicle and 42 DMSL vehicles. This will include the preparation, bodywork repairs and a full livery change of each carriage, powder coating of the grab handles, table legs etc We have a dedicated Team, based in Bristol and are managing the project at the Customers site.

As a preferred supplier to Arriva Traincare and working at their overhaul facility @ Days Road Bristol, SCC was awarded the contract to refresh 6 off class 170 centre cars being cascaded to Cross Country Trains to form 6 off 3 car sets. Following the centre car refresh the 3 cars were then formed with SCC polishing the exterior of the driving motor cars to match the as new condition of the centre car.

Working alongside Alstom, SCC was asked at short notice to refurbish all vestibules on the first of 57 class 390 Pendolinos to be refreshed at their Alstom site in Widnes. SCC was given a 2 week window to mobilise and produced a high Quality job to the satisfaction of everyone at Alstom. SCC was pleased to be asked to support Alstom on their journey of refreshing this iconic fleet of trains and hope to pick up more work with them in the future.

Working closely with Alstom UK, we supported their 2 year project to overhaul the entire fleet of 106 x 6 car sets of the 1995 stock fleet. SCC managed : Internal/External refresh of each car – this included the supply of and application of Hexis AGLR vinyl to the exterior body sides and both interior and exterior of the passenger doors. All vinyl was plotted and cut to size at our factory in Milton Keynes. External passenger door sides were fitted in one piece, blue and white external panels were fitted in one piece plotting out areas such as vents, door guides, door indicator lights and the internal of the passenger doors were fitted in two pieces. The main interior of each car was prepared, repaired and painted with Axalta Hydro Topcoat. Cab end roof seals were repaired as per a specific procedure supplied by 3M, once prepped a clear vinyl tape was applied to the roof canopy and the front of the cab, once cured it allowed for paint to be applied over the tape to provide a seamless finish. SCC used approved methods to identify, polish and finally apply anti – graffiti window film to all internal glass surfaces. Up to 80% across the fleet was polished. Areas of each car that is at risk to high volumes of graffiti attacks received an anti – graffiti coating called Chelaguard, this product offers total protection to all refinished surfaces and can aid the longevity of the car keeping surfaces looking fresher and reducing the amount of cleaning required.

As an approved supplier to Spin Doctor based in Milton Keynes, SCC have recently refurbished a number of fitness bike frames, and had the cranks powder coated. Spin Doctor strip and deliver the bikes for SCC to prepare and paint using a hard wearing coating. Once the bikes are finished they are delivered.

SCC was asked to provide a coating that could be used to refresh the old exterior/interior of the tram, reduce the need to clean the tram as frequently and to help reduce the operators carbon footprint. Please access to find out more about this exciting innovation
