PeterR Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This new release, which would have been ideal for going behind one of the 'Showmans road locomotives' is too large - its 1;68 scale. Ref number is sp140 That information is from Hatton's who I asked to check for me as it is listed as scale 'other' - they did, and say it is too large for behind a Showmans road loco.. ' Full Marks' to the staff (John Nickerson) at Hatton's for checking the pair together; I have sent a question (are they going to make a 1:76 vesion?) to Oxford, but don't expect a reply Peter.

Classsix T Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 What was that thing about 'exellence' Oxford? Desperately grasping like a drowning man, or summat...tsk. C6T 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-CRS Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It was announced in the last batch and explained that it got tooled before the scale error was spotted. Instead of scraping the tool and starting again OD decided to carry on and aim it at the collectors market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a shame that a factory error led to it being to a non-standard scale, but to be fair to Oxford, they have not claimed that it is 1:76 scale - it has a “SP...” rather than a “76...” product code, showing it to be one of their non-scale products. I am gutted that it’s not 1:76, and share your hope that a 1:76 scale one comes along eventually... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
