RMweb Premium it's-er Posted January 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 24, 2016 Oh! And on 1/76 Omnibus there is no new announcement, but they have started toolling on a new coach and a second item has CAD approval. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The Volvo FH and the container trailer are good news for the N scene. Obviously it follows the 4mm range, but I'm not sure why they've chosen to do a bit of a specialist container trailer instead of a reasonably standard triaxle 40ft skelly Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair chunk of the 00 stuff looks like extensions to existing models and there's nothing much for the 1:43 range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0rris Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Its not just you, I'd hazard a guess that its because Oxford Rail is soaking up alot of their capital. As much as we'd like them to, these companies don't have an infinite pot of money to invest. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showtime - nothing new now, but designs are completed for a ploughing engine. Was there any more information on the BMW 325? They have been around for over 30 years, so I'm interested in knowing which generation this is? Third or fourth generation will definitely be on my purchase list (as will any JCB). Apart from that I might not be purchasing too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the 1938 Millie Miglia was an ancient car that I hadn't heard of. Turns out it was an Italian road race and the BMW 328 was a class winner in 1938! However a BMW 325 would be much more to my liking. There will be another announcement later in the year and something on that list may interest me. In the past I have been able to see the Oxford Diecast Collector group pages on Facebook (even although I haven't signed up), but it now seems to be a closed group (which I don't think it was before). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Phatbob Posted January 26, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'm delighted to see a Hillman Imp on the list. I hope that they make a better job of it than the awful Base Toys one.It could be an excellent seller if they make a good job of it as new imps were transported by rail from the factory in Linwood.If they need a full size one to laser scan, they can use mine. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they need a full size one to laser scan, they can use mine. I remember seeing a whole trainload of them hauled by a pair of Class 20s in the Portsmouth/Southampton area - presumably on their way to Southampton Docks for export. First 20s I ever saw and absolutely amazed to see them on the Southern Region. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Yeah that's a walking floor trailer, as used for biomass etc. Both that and the low loader are nice surprises! Hopefully release of the Actros and FH aren't too far off since they're in the plastic now. The low roof Scania is a new one too Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium it's-er Posted February 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2016 Oxford Diecast 1/43 at Nurnberg Toy Fair photos! The Nurnberg Toy Fair finishes today, and Georg Hämel of the German website Auto & Modell has posted an excellent series of photos of 1/43 models from OD's stand. These include a rash of Aston Martins - including the DB4 GT Zagato in more or less finished form! - and the Land Rover lightweight.

HOTTODDY Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 My first car was a 1950 Ford Prefect and I'm really surprised that it hasn't been done since the Popular has been around some years now. Look at most street photos of the period and both the Prefect and "Pop/Anglia" were very common. The 4-door E93E Prefect was built in the late 30s and the most notable difference between the pre and post war types was the headlights. They were mounted above the front "wings" pre war and fitted into the "wings" post war. There were van, pickup, "shooting brake" and taxi versions to name a few. Some were made in Australia and seen all over the world, so please, please Taff, let's see a good old "sit-up-and-beg" Prefect, before I fall off my perch or forget all about my lovely, first transport of delight and freedom of the road!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted May 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hi all, I spotted this recently: It is 1:76 scale see :https://www.stobartclubandshop.co.uk/search/176-scale-komatsu/0/1/?search_mode=search&search_term=komatsu Thats not the Oxford Diecast one, its the 'starter' from the Atlas 'World of Stobart' series. Oxford are making a model of the same prototype but there are differences, the Oxford one has far better tracks but IMHO the digger arm of the Atlas one is better. The best way to tell them apart is the Atlas model has white handrails whereas the Oxford ones are black. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
