This information was found on Time Models web site.

Oxford Diecast are going to produce the following models not in the current Feb to May 2013 release programme book, 76BD008 GWR Bedford OX flatbed trailer, 76BD009 Bedford OX Royal Navy, Post Office (red) Reliant van & BSA Motorcycle with a different style of passenger carrying sidecar 1st might be in RAF colours. 

There's supposed to be a J4 coming from Classix, it was announced at least a year ago. I wonder though what's happening with Classix as there has been no new issues for quite a while.

Hattons are now showing new catalogue for Pocketbond "Classix" 2013/14 the answer might be inside it?

Can't seem to access this.

Log into your Facebook account, then in top blue strip in search box type ' oxford diecast collectors' it should come up with this group link.

New pictures can be found on  Model Railway Express MAG web site this morning, plus some of HO scale cars.

If you go onto Facebook and look under Oxford Diecast you will see some artist drawings and photos of new items

Thanks for the info, just look at Hattons site, one of the items is a container lift/reach stacker manufacture by Konecranes. I would expect to find them on everyone layout,s who has containers.  

Apologies if I'm repeating something posted elsewhere, but if I recall correctly, one of the vehement criticisms of the Hornby 4VEP was the use of an ex-Lima pancake motor.

 

I have just read the Todeller review of the 2BIL and it says 'The units are powered by the standard Hornby multiple unit motor bogie, as found in the 4-VEP.'

 

Can anyone enlighten me: is this now considered to be a satisfactory unit?

You should read this week newsletter on Kernow Model railway web site.

Model Rail mag states that 2BIL is to be release in January

Have a look at Hornby web site, Youtube clip of 2BIL now showing, it looks good

Does anyone know when Oxford bring out new catalogues: I notice that the latest catalogue on their website is labelled June to September 2012? I know that it's not yet the middle of October, but when should we expect an October to December catalogue?

 

I'm hoping for virtually any car from the late 1990s in 1:76 scale: especially if it is a Ford or a Vauxhall.

Hi its now on their web site Oct 2012 to Jan 2013, new pictures of various truck models

Found this body today, no chassis or cab.

Model Collector is showing pictures of new Oxford Diecast AEC Mercury TL (turn table ladder) fire engine, looks great, reference number 76AM001

Here some pictures taken last month at Southampton Millbrook container depot, trucks were used to move loads from Millbrook to Maritime yards, before new cranes at Maritime.

This weeks Kernow newsletter has an up date on THUMBER now price has gone up to £129 for new pre orders and when released £139. Also date is now showing as early 2013, its a shame that something like this has taken so long to come around and we are still waiting. I am sure it will be good and I hope 2013 date will be met.

Is the upcoming Scania T cab in 1:76 scale?

Yes they are going to be 1/76, this also includes the 111 cabs, due 2013 according to the Diecast Collector articial.

For more up to date pictures see film clip on Youtube 'Oxford Diecast Preview Days' film about 2 weeks ago by Collectors GB.

Nice information of new products including Scania 111 tractor unit and T cab, also OB Bedford coaches have been re-model and steam roller ( which I recon will be out at by The Great Dorset Steam Fair dates ).

Here a new one to add to list from Base Toys

Previous rerailers were the Bedford TKs with Wolverton bodies as done by Oxford Diecast and later we had the Bedford TL / BRUFF roadrailers. So I have just included those of the body style like yours.

Merf.

Have you try getting in touch with the Freight Transport Association, as some of the pictures above show FTA vehicle inspection service yearly sticker's in front nearside windscreen, they might beable to tell location of inspection sites over the years they have inspected vehicles. Since 1999 all there inspections have been recorded on laptops by there engineers. Hope this is useful information

Have you looked at Langley Models web site, they do a Fordson E27N hi lift front loader tractor or BTD6 Drott Hydraulic Excavator, not cheap..

Bedford/Lomas Ambulance

Bedford OB Pantechnicon truck

Bedford OWB single deck bus

Citroen 2CV

Have just seen on J.Ayrey website that Oxforddiecast are going to make an AEC Ergomatic 6 wheel tipper. It looks a good cab/chassis for conversion into a cement mixer?

Good Evening All

I have just came off J.Ayrey website after looking under Oxfordiecast 00 range, they have listed some new vehicles both trucks,vans and cars.

Here a quick list of some interesting items.

Scania Artic/lowloader trailer in Stobart Rail

Ford Transit in Network Rail

AEC Ergomatic 6 wheel tipper in Hoveringham

Atkinson Borderer artic/flatbed trailer

Pioneer Recovery trucks/tractors various liveries

Dennis F106 fire engines

Commer PB Royal Mail

Morris J Ice cream van

Austins Princess car

Triumph 2500 car

 

Plus loads of other vehicles in new colours and liveries, sorry did not have a look at N gauge yet.

Does anyone know of a 1:76 Cement Mixer truck suitable for the early sixties?

 

I have looked around the web but cannot see anything suitable being available yet.

Have a look on Road Transport Images web site in the 'Galleries By Make' section select Foden and you will find a picture of mixer truck which they used a body of Cararama Scaina. They have just done a model using Best mixer body fitted to a Leyland Freighter cab, this is found in cab section on page 6.

I have used a Base toy LAD cab/chassis and fitted a secondhand japen mixer body got from a collector fair stall a few year back. see pictures left to right, Best, Cararama, Base Toys and Herpa.

You might find ho scale Herpa to small ?

Hope this helps
