RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted August 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 26, 2020 For N scale, a nice Bedford CA van would be nice. Oxford only do it as an ice cream van, making it hard to turn into a plain van. Similarly, the Bedford K cab is only available as a pantechnican from Oxford, albeit much easier to change into other forms. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Interesting to see a more up to date model from Osborns, as others have said that's the up to the minute Scania cab. To me, it looks like a pixelated version of the previous shape (per the Oxford model), especially when you see old and new side by side. I'll be sure to get some of these, I wonder if they'll look at some older cabs on the same chassis and tipper body? Could be a quick win if so From a quick Flickr search, this style of Scania can be seen in big companies Hanson, AI and Tarmac liveries as well as numerous smaller operators.

javlinfaw7 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Osbornes have stated that this is still in the early stages of development, so may be too soon to say exactly which cab it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Even at the current stage of development it's definitely a 'New Generation' cab as Scania call them, very distinctive shape. I'd imagine the only development that could change that is if Osborns go for a different prototype. Jo Edited August 27, 2020 by Steadfast 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two new livery variants of the Thames Trader and Bedford S plus a new modern Scania 8 wheel tipper. The Scania cab is now available as a Skip lorry There also seems to be a Modern tractor and a 1970s?

grahame Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 They are not the only two tractors they're working on. Maurice recently admitted to having a thing about tractors, particularly vintage ones. But they're not much use in an urban environment. ;-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Harvey Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Some 3D printed Land Rover 110s with a variety of bodystyles have joined the trucks and trailers in this eBay shop. Easier to recolour than the Oxford Diecast models which are printed liveries on clear bodyshells.

Steadfast Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Interesting find Mike, some of his trucks look useful for stuff being roaded in and out of depots. Do you, or any other members, have any first hand experience of these 3D prints? Are they to 1/148 or 1/160? Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Jo I bought some scrap trailers which came as a set in three colours as in the Ebay listing. They are nominally 40 ft long, and the model measures 81.5mm using a ruler rather than a more accurate measurement. That makes them 1/148. The quality of the self coloured prints is very good, with the wheels, king pin and trailer legs printed in black. The king pin may have to be resized for some tractor units, but the trailers look fine hooked up to Tomytec, Oxford Diecast, and DMToys tractor units. I'll do a few detailed photos later.

Steadfast Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Thanks Mike, sounds good range of models then. I look forward to seeing your pics! Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Harvey Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) This is a selection of all round pictures of the as received trailer to show the quality of printing. My main observation is that the trailer wheels seem a little bit undersized, and there is no side under-run protection. Hooked up to a Tomytec Isuzu tractor unit.

Steadfast Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Thanks Mike, they look good for the price. Some of the trailer proportions look a touch out with wheels a bit close to the rear, but a useful range that hopefully with continue to see development.

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted October 1, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) The Land Rover arrived today. Model inside a sealable plastic bag inside a small box. The photos are literally out of the box. Fairly smooth print apart from the sloped roof above the cab....which will need some filler. It looks like a LR. The model is sealed and has revolving wheels, solid rear windows. The front cab window looks too big but from normal distances more than acceptable. Two spare wheels and a roof rack are the other bits. Edited October 1, 2020 by acg5324 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of short wheelbase Land Rover Defender station wagons were in the Hongwell 1/72 range if you can stand the nominal scale difference. They had cab mirrors. I think I have at least one which was Schuco branded. The Oxford N versions are the older 88" wheelbase. http://www.hongwellcollector.co.uk/defender-90/4545193742 https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/products/land-rover-series-1-88-civil-defence-nlan188001?_pos=9&_sid=f639be37f&_ss=r Edited October 4, 2020 by Mike Harvey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
