Not seen the change to the ergo cab but AEC and Leyland used different variants of the cab with the later grille, the Leyland one being higher to accommodate the 0.500 engine. The S80 is a welcome addition although again there are two different variants, one for tractor units and 2/3 axle rigid and a one for 4 axles. RTI have modelled both and Mi-Kits/ Motorway models did a superb white metal kit for the tractor in the 70s/ 80s. , aside from Edited April 29, 2017 by RANGERS 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hroth Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 What next? Well, Oxford seem to be supplying a number of 1:76 scale cars and fire engines to Hachette Partworks, available on their site ( https://www.hachettepartworks.com/oxford-diecast-176-automobiles ) I don't think there's a magazine involved, just the individual vehicles. Perhaps there's going to be further collaboration with Oxford, the link for the "Build Your Very Own Milltown Model Railway" ( http://www.milltownmodelrailway.com ) now redirects to the Hachette main page; Perhaps it'll become "Build Your Very Own GWR Branch Line Station", with an offer of a Dean Goods....

mikeharvey22 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Trade announcement on Friday 2 June 2017. Announced the evening before on the Oxford Diecast Collectors Facebook group. This is a members only group, and traditionally Oxford's MD reveals new items there on the evening before the trade announcement. Some history of the announcement cycle is in the blog item for May 14, 2017 here:- https://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/blogs/news Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatofludham Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 For those with a Facebook account there are images of the releases on the Collector's page. The Twin Beech aircraft looks very nice and would look lovely with a Railway Air Services Dragon and Dragon Rapide in a 1930s aerodrome next to a Southern Electric themed layout!

wombatofludham Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 From Taff "A lot of interest in the 1:76 Range Rover Classic and the P38 which are not far away. Other versions to come - but not yet - probably a year away. We have to design into the moulds at the beginning all the permutations we plan". The Range Rover classic and the Rover SD1 are perfect for the blue era to early sector era modellers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A repaint beckons. Careful, the 400E Thames van shared its metallurgy with the cars of the time (not just Fords) and BR vans led a pretty tough existence. The model was discontinued in 1965 and It's quite possible none of theirs lasted long enough to be painted yellow......
