mikeharvey22 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 More new Oxford Diecast announcements here with new tooling for all the scales. Release dates through to early 2015. http://equilateralmedia.co.uk/zeteo/mar/index.php/news-and/ Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinkyme Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Just been looking at new list could we be lucky with the Daf 105 Skeletal Trailer Freightliner. Is this a new casting of a 3 axle skeletal trailer ?, when looking at previous Oxford lists container trailers have always been described as combi trailer (D-Tec) lets hope its the basic 3 axle version seen on the roads more than the combi types.

RMweb Premium it's-er Posted May 17, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2014 Many thanks, Mike, for posting this information. as Oxford Diecast's current catalogue covers February to end May, I was expecting their next release announcement soon, but didn't imagine we would get any news till the end of May. So this early news is a bonus! Particularly so to see that in 1/76 the Austin Seven RN Saloon and Van are due in quarter 4 this year - terrific news! These now give us an early-mid 1930s onwards small car and van. Very welcome indeed! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted May 24, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 24, 2014 Breaking news, Oxford are going to make a model of the Daimler Dart. There will be a police version with a police radio fitted on the dashboard and a calibrated speedometer. No mention of scale though but probably 1/43.

RMweb Premium it's-er Posted May 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2014 Oxford's latest announcements, officially made yesterday for June to September, are now on Gold Star's website at http://www.goldstarstockists.net/live/catalog/model-store-diecast-models-oxford-diecast-late-2014-pre-orders-c-128_181_184_596.html?page=1&sort=2a (6 pages). The Daimler Dart Phil refers to appeared on 24th on a website for Oxford Diecast enthusiasts, the photograph put there by Lyndon Davies (Taff) in playful mood. It isn't part of the June to September announcement, however, presumably following later ...... Cheers! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Graff Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Need some more 1:87 1930's era cars! The postwar era is well covered by others, so I hope OD see the opportunity to fill this BIG gap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcb 3c Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I agree , specially as these 1930s cars were a common sight well into the 1960's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be too hard to make a standard 40/45 foot container trailer from a standard trailer. I like the fact that they are doing the DAF CF85 in post office livery, but it would be nice to see it in 'dealer white', as used by most rental fleets, logistic fleets and supermarkets. P.S. A good half of the container trailers I see are combi-trailers, but then I do travel along the A14 twice a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I didn't think it was possible to do that much travel along the A14 in a single week - too many traffic jams? Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcb 3c Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Wonder why some manufacturer doesn't do a 'decades' series of vehicles. ie say a dozen best selling cars and maybe commercials from each decade -1970s, 1980s, 1990s ,noughties , now , I am sure they would sell well to modellers and also people who owned or used them.

RMweb Premium it's-er Posted June 2, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 2, 2014 No need - Oxford Diecast have enough models from each decade to cover this from the 1940s onwards, and increasing in the 1930s too! In 1/76 scale they list their models by decade on their website. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a complete absence of cars from the early 1990s into the mid noughties. Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

37114 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 The Austin 1300 is a winner for me, I wonder if they will do an estate version in red with a Basil Fawlty miniature figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 The Austin 1300 is a winner for me, I wonder if they will do an estate version in red with a Basil Fawlty miniature figure! Does it come with optional collapsing near-side sub-frame, I wonder? A very popular car with teachers in my youth; heads of departments went for the Vanden Plas/ Wolseley derivative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
