Bishdurham Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 This topic appears to have gone cold. Would have hoped the release of the GE Van &c. Would have brought some renewed interest. Has there been any news since November? Ta Muchly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wainwright1 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 There is no mention of Oxford on Hornby's website, so maybe they are going to keep that operation separate and there could be some interesting new announcements in May ?

All the best Ray No has said anything about the info being on the Hornby website. Have you confused Downer's reference to Hornby Magazine (which AFAIK has nothing to do with Hornby besides licensing the use of the name) with Hornby? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case, arrival might hopefully coincide with that of the Hatton's six-wheel brake I've ordered to accompany mine. I should have had the Rapido SECR 2-plank and van in departmental guise to hand, awaiting both, for a while by then...

I was speaking about Oxford in general, who are now wholly owned by Hornby. As there has been no mention about Oxford products on their website or in any of the Hornby publicity, it could well be that they are keeping the Oxford products separate from their own mainstream range. As previously noted, Oxford did say that they would be making product announcements in May, so lets hope that are some nice surprises.

Black 5 Bear Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Anyone aware of an update from Oxford on the Cowan's Sheldon crane? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodgson Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Last I heard from them it is due 4th quarter last year. In view of takeover, I suspect plans (and no doubt price) have changed. I haven't yet paid for the two I have on order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my first Oxford price list that actually showed the crane come through at my shop today, which I expect means they are close. £19.95 RRP so I prices around £16.95 from most shops.

There was some speculation about the price when the model was first announced. it is interesting that that price has been held to. It does leave me wondering quite what will be offered for the money. To the best of my knowledge no development images have been published. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Other than the Banana/GER vans nothing has else has been produced, or any further updates on anything else Model Railway related posted since Hornby took over. Only new items I have seen are Diecast vehicles. They are churning out "mystery" mixed boxes at the moment on their webpage. Clearing remaining stock ? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop of superglue to stop them moving after you have them properly gauged and Robert's yer mum's brother. Anyhow, since when did anybody take up P4 in the expectation of it being easy? 🥸 John Edited July 27, 2022 by Dunsignalling 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
