RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted December 20, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 20, 2014 I wonder if Hornby would have announced their Radial had not Oxford revealed theirs first? It certainly in my considered opinion would not have been announced at Warley or included in the 2015 announcement but I do know that they have been working on the research for some time so I feel that it would been a likely inclusion in either the 2016 or 2017 range.

JSpencer Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Even if Oxfordrail did not announce theirs, While I doubt they would have announced it at Warley, they would certainly have announced as part of the 2015 range. It is by far the most advanced model they have announced. The Hornby colours, running numbers and prices are now known, but what will Oxford announce. Hopefully not the exact same models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted December 21, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 21, 2014 It's going to be interesting to see what else Oxford announce in the New Year, that's for sure. They have their own factory, which leads me to think they have a much shorter lead time than Hornby currently do. No need to parade 3D prints if they are close to a proper EP. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil gollin Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Well, my maths might very well be wrong (actually probably 101% wrong) however with 7 days to go the first two lines was ; N* ******s ** m* ***o*So I'm not rolling along So "translated" that would be "No wheels on my wagon" ......... --------------------- So today it will be "6 days left ...... ONE wheel on my wagon" .......... then, "5 days left ...... TWO wheels on my wagon" .......... then, "4 days left ...... THREE wheels on my wagon" .......... then, "3 days left ...... FOUR wheels on my wagon" .......... then, "2 days left ...... FIVE wheels on my wagon" .......... then, "1 days left ...... SIX wheels on my wagon" .......... then, "0 days left ...... SEVEN ( ! ! ! ) wheels on my wagon" So a seven-wheeled wagon - seriously, I assume a 6-wheeler. . Edited January 14, 2015 by phil gollin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenwall Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The extra * in the first verse has also been removed. Looks like extra bits are going to be added until we have a complete wagon. Presumably an anouncement of a wagon to go with the Adams will follow. If it has planks then not a tank wagon or steel/iron body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium finelines Posted January 18, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Decent 7 Plank RCH PO wagon in dozens of liveries. It would fit the clues. Although if you read the Wild Swan book about coal wagons they are less similar than you would think. Would love some in the disgusting mouldy green/grey/beige that I remember them on the 60s. Authentic colour pictures are rare. When it had only one plank I did wonder whether it was a wagon to carry their cars.

Roger Plenty good models of 7 Plank RCH PO Wagons about, Bachmann produce a very nice model of one which has been out a number of years. How about a SR 8 Plank wagon on a useful 10 Foot underframe which can be used for other wagons of the same era. They could scan the very good and correct ABS kit, at least they would not make as many errors as have been offered to modelers by other manufacturers just lately.

RMweb Premium finelines Posted January 19, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 19, 2015 I did consider both the LSWR and Southern opens but opted for the RCH because it seemed more in keeping with what oxford do in their vehicle range. It also doesn't tie it to the Southern. Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
