Dungrange Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 The best way to tell them apart is the Atlas model has white handrails whereas the Oxford ones are black. I note that the Oxford version is now in stock at Hattons, but the images seem to have white handrails. Were they just black on a pre-production sample?

Signaller69 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I think the new Carflat will be a popular model. Have to say I'd like to see the LNER J62 (ex MS&LR saddle tank) & J63 outside cylinder 0-6-0T locos made in 4mm; useful and long lived locos which are ideal for dockside layouts with sharp curves. I'd take one of each for a future layout project anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

autocoach Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Not much 1:76 other than Military for the pre 1950 modeler to use on the layout. Maybe next quarter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted May 29, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 29, 2016 They could also possibly do a pack of five Hillman Imps without numberplates in radom colours to go on their new carflat? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Do we not also suffer from the problem that in N (and 00) Britsh modellers don't use the same scales as the rest of the world? Jeremy Ahem! Point of order. The rest of the world doesn't use the same scales as we do. C6T. Edited June 28, 2016 by Classsix T 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium it's-er Posted August 27, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 27, 2016 Oxford Diecast usually have a stand at the Great Dorset Steam Fair, being held this weekend. Did they show any new castings on their stand? Does anyone have photos they can post on here? TheSoitherner has already posted photos on the Bachmann thread of their Webb coal tank and SECR Birdcage coaches, which Bachmann had on their stand at the Great Dorset Steam Fair today. John in Edinburgh, so very happy to see photos from those able to attend! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Has anyone heard anything about the forthcoming N scale Mercedes Actros and Volvo FH? They seem to have been a fair while coming, the tooling was illustrated beginning of the year Thanks Jo Edited August 27, 2016 by Steadfast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeharvey22 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) The Actros and the Weymann Fanfare coach are the last of the new N castings from (October) 2015 still to be released. The Volvo wss announced in February 2016. Both the tractor units will be along soon. If I find more precise information, I shall post it. With Oxford producing around 30 new items per month, plus re-runs of earlier models, I am surprised that the time from announcement to delivery is usually around the 12 month mark. Apparently they are already working on the 2018 programme! I can't even build a couple of kits in the time they take to conceive and deliver their new babies.

Also had a nice chat with Taff today asked about them doing a skip wagon it would depend on demand, so if you what them to do one you need to let them know. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
