217 RIVER FLESK Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 What scale is that Dean goods with the snow plough. TT? No, it's actually O gauge, it's just that the photographer couldn't get any closer due to the boundary fence & he'd forgotten to take his zooooooooooooooooooooooooooom lens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronny Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yes I am. ORcat.jpg Thanks very much Phil. Another I will be ordering when I can. Amazing to think I will be placing more Oxford Rail pre-orders than either with Bachmann or Hornby this year. Not that I was in any way disappointed with the other manufacturers. In fact, quite the opposite. Of course in monetary value, OR will be in last place - maybe that has something to do with it :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frond Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Excellent news that the ROD Dean Goods is available without the gun. I don't see any sign of it (OR76DG009) on Hattons or any of the other major internet suppliers or indeed on the OR website. Are you reading about it in a printed catalog? I too have been checking the Oxford Rail website and the latest announcements don't appear to be on there, in fact the last update was on the 11th January. It seems strange, and somewhat unprofessional to me that a company does not bother to update their own site with their big news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ngram Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Its a pity the Dean Goods will not be available with (as per Aves excellent books) ROD markings. As for the railgun, I think, at the price it is at, it will sell like hotcakes. I've already started converting my fiddle yard into a ROD depot and gun siding. But what aout shells? I want a pile of them stacked beside a siding (again as per Aves photos), ready for delivery to the gun. Does anyone of a military modelling bent, know what could be used, in any scale for rail gun shells? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone of a military modelling bent, know what could be used, in any scale for rail gun shells? Doubt if the shells where stacked in the open, they would more likely go direct into the specially constructed magazines next to the rail line.

1ngram Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 William Aves' second book on the ROD (The Lines behind the Front) has two photographs showing artillery shells for the big guns. One on page 44 shows hundreds of shells of various calibres sitting on what looks like a raised wooden unloading bay. The second, a couple of pages later. shows shells being carried on a petrol tractor train and piles of empty shellcases strewn alongside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ngram Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Nice. Found it on their site. But if I read the piece correctly, it will only be available as a set with the Boche Buster railgun. Will retailers split them? There will be some people who just want the loco and some who just want the gun. After all the loco never ran in the UK in that livery.

Keep looking, this one is available on its own. '2330' is part of a set with the rail gun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
