grahame Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 They list the following as next: BEDFORD 'S' TYPE TRACTOR UNITVARIOUS TRAILERS TO SUIT aboveBEDFORD 'S' TYPE Cattle TransporterFord D TipperFord D VanMk1 Ford Transit I hope the Ford D is not the same as the Ford D800 that is already available as a 3D printed model in 1:148 scale: I think a decent Ford Cargo (that replaced the D range) would be a better bet (the old Dornaplus Cargo kit version was the wrong scale and not very accurate). And although a Mk1 Transit would be nice, R Parker have already produced both decent enough LWB and SWB kit versions and there is rumour that ODC will be producing one as a RTR version.

BernardTPM Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 A decent Bedford TK would be useful. I believe all there is currently is a solid lump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 A decent Bedford TK would be useful. Yes, the Bedford TK, introduced in 1959, fits the end of steam 1960s era well, but is a period which is becoming well supplied with commercials. I was thinking of something a little more modern for the 80s and 90s like the Ford Cargo, Scania series 2, Volvo FL and perhaps the Bedford TM. However, I'd really like to see some common-or-garden private cars (saloon/hatchback) from the 70s, 80s and 90s produced. It's a thirty year opportunity gap that manufacturers seem to be blind to. ODC just ignores it by churning out oldies and vehicle categories like agricultural, buses, military, commercials, and rare sports/luxury ones. Just how many fire engines, hearses and taxis can you accommodate on a layout? G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernardTPM Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) For '80s trucks any of the Leyland T45 and related types would be useful; with facelifting built well into the 1990s. TKs hung around a long time though, especially on horseboxes! Yes, bog-standard '70s/'80s/'90s cars would be useful too.

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted September 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2017 Leyland Ergo cab and or a Foden S type cab or Seddon Atkinson cab would be useful. Both ODC and BT seem to like 8 wheel 4 axle chassis with everything, a 3 axle chassis and tractor units would increase the variety. Transit and Sherpa vans are a must Bedford CF would be good too.

grahame Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Here's the Osborn's Models new unpainted N/2mm scale 3D printed Bedford S delivery lorry. I picked it up at TINGS on Sunday. The windscreen pillars are commendably thin especially in comparison with RailNscene Shapeways 3D prints and the print finish is relatively good although details are a little soft: I've had a quick trawl of the internet to see if I can find a picture of a real box bodied Bedford S lorry for examples of liveries, but so far I've not found one, so I'm not sure if it's based on a real truck. I'll have to look a bit deeper unless anyone has anything suitable. G. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted September 13, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2017 Worryingly when doing a search for Bedford S type van, every picture is a diecast model.....until I got to this image. https://goo.gl/images/n14u8y Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too was a little concerned when all the box bodied versions seemed to be diecast toys. And that was one of only two that I found after another delve. It's not always easy to turn up suitable research online. G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeharvey22 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Try searching for Bedford S type on this na3t website. http://www.na3t.org/road/photo/HuE0213 http://www.na3t.org/road?search=BEDFORD+S+type A search Bedford S shows up some more images from page 11 onwards. http://www.na3t.org/road?page=10&search=BEDFORD%20S Images of short wheelbase tippers, and artic tankers in the Osborn's range. Some edits made to simplify the search. Edited September 13, 2017 by mikeharvey22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some edits made to simplify the search. Thanks, although that Empire Catering Co one seems to be the only one with a similar box body (and it's not exactly the same as the Osborn's version). There is another potential one but it is not viewable unless you pay! I was hoping to get some livery examples and ideas of real Bedford S lorries with a box body (so colour pics would be best). But it does seem that such vehicles were quite scarce. Plenty of tankers, flatbacks, opens and tippers though. Perhaps I purchased the 'wrong' type ;-) G. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
