Broadway Clive Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Just got these flyers in the post today from R Parker. Good to see some new 'old' stuff in 4mm scale at last as OD have got a bit too modern for the poor postwar people who inhabit my layouts! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for some 1930s N scale vehicles - I already have a few from the Oxford diecast range, but lorries are proving to be a bit elusive. Another Forum member sent me details about R. Parker N scale vehicles from a different post, but when I do a search online there was only one stockist mentioned, which has now closed?

ijmsmith Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hi Marlyn - you have to order direct from RParker - he advertises monthly in the back pages of Railway Modeller 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianmacc Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I can see why he stock cleared the first models as they were duplicated by Oxford diecast. Dont have an RM to hand but does anyone have the address for R Parker so I can mail him for a price list please? Very old school! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually VE09 1957 Vauxhall Cresta PA is an earlier version (with the three-piece rear screen) than the Oxford diecast version (1957-9 against 1961-2). His Lotus Cortina is also a better shape, particularly along the waist, belt line and rainstrip/window area. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Harvey Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) There is a message on another board on RMWeb to say that most of the R Parker 00 range has been taken over by John Day Models (Daryle Tonye) and will be absorbed into the John Day range gradually.

Mike Harvey Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I think he stopped advertising in Railway Modeller in the middle of 2019. I understand he is still operating. I’ll request an up to date price list. That should confirm, or not. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a while ago (late 2019), he was talking about new items in N and OO for this year, but that was pre covid. I have been meaning to write to him with an order to get an update of the N Gauge range, Mike will probably beat me now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Harvey Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Firstly confirmation that R. Parker is still operating. I received the N scale models price list as requested by return of my stamped DL envelope. All 41 models are still listed, but the following 10 are out of stock:- NG04 1963-70 Rover P6 NG14 1954-62 Standard 6cwt van NG15 1935-38 Morris Eight Saloon NG18 1939-47 Austin Ten NG26 1931-35 Bedford WLG SWB Recovery truck (the tipper version is in stock) NG35 1932-34 Austin 10 van NG37 1919-25 AEC 3.5 ton Omnibus NG38 1931-35 Fordson BB 2 ton Cattle/Livestock truck NG39 1920 AEC 3.5 ton lorry NG40 1949-60 Morris J—type van The complete list of models is in my post of 8 May 2019 above.

It was October last year when he was on about releasing new items in N & OO this year but Covid must have got in the way. I'll adjust my order, ask how he is and what his plans are for new items. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
