truffy Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 The pilchards weren't caught off the coast of Dungeness/Dounreay/Sellafield by any chance, were they? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I am not surprised by the J26 as this makes perfect sense as they had most of the information already! The crane is a bit left field and one I certainly didn't expect, I have a D&S kit mostly finished and it needs to be finished... however I am pretty confident that I will purchase one also! I have to encourage the new tank and van as these are good solid additions to the range. I would have expected a NER hopper as this would compliment the J26/J27 (along with the Hornby Q6). There is a rich seam that has yet to be explored in the NER hoppers by the RTR companies.. any how that's for another year! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold farren Posted January 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I’m sure Oxford hates LMS fans! No loco again, OK I can go with that the J26 dose look very nice. But I’ve just bought the new Bachmann Crain not even two weeks ago. And now they release a LMS Crain no 243 just down the road from Leicester. I take the Crain comes with a carrying wagon of some sort? ps just spotted the Sunderland Crain! I’ve a Soft spot for Sunderland due to my farther coming from there. So two to think about now. I admit not very prototypical but I don’t care sorry. Edited January 21, 2020 by farren 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the D&S kit which I have built . It doesnt like curves so this might be a option in due course. J26 a cany idea for more sales !! Another NE van !! lovely !! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinTrucks Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I assume that the BP tank wagon is an additional livery in the range of Oxford tank wagons that we are still waiting for? Martin 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossy5190 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Really looking forward to seeing the Cowans Sheldon Crane. I was planning on scratch building one of the Caledonian pair, think I'll be modifying one of these instead! Good to see another pre-groupng wagon too. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGiraffe22 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Eh, like Hornby it's all a bit LNER/LMS, no SR means I get to save money at least =) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted January 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2020 Oh I like that crane! The Bachmann one was a little too big for my layout but a pair of those would be great. What wagons were used as runners with them? 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BMacdermott Posted January 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hello everyone Congratulations to Oxford on these announcements...we wish them well with the projects and hope they are commercially successful. Below is how the items fared in The 00 Wishlist Poll 2019: J26: We listed this previously as a combination with the J27. Tank Wagon: We're not sure what type this is at the moment...we'll get back in due course. GER Van: This particular item was listed individually many years ago but we had to 'subsume it' into the broader/generic listing of GER Wagons, Vans & Brake Vans. It is certainly a very useful vehicle and looks 'a tad different' to other 4-wheel vans. Crane: Not in The Poll. We do list a handful, but the subject is so vast that a Poll could be run just for cranes! Pilchard: Not in The Poll. Another area where we have struggled to shoe-horn items in over the years; the genre is vast! Brian (on behalf of The 00 Poll Team) 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Saunders Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 The Pilchard is a pleasant and unexpected choice and will be popular with those who find a Sturgeon too long! Still no hoppers where a P4 hopper would it in well as they were widespread. https://pregroupingrailwaysdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/frwc52-ner-p4-hopper-instructions.pdf There is still next year and all the outstanding releases!

OK the Pilchard remained in service after the puffers were recycled as Ford Cortinas and we all know that most D&E modellers are in love with odd departmental wagons. I am looking forward to adding the tank wagon to my fleet of Shell Mex- BP wagons as I don't have many RCH 1907 ones and I am sure I do not have a A class one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian (on behalf of The 00 Poll Team) Going by the product code, it looks like a new livery on the 12T Tank Wagon. Which was announced back in January 2018, so wouldn't be in the 2019 poll. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Drew Who’s being miserable? I think for a small collection it’s nicely rounded yes it’s never going to please everyone. But the Crain is a excellent choice. That will fit into most small layouts without taking up half of it. Just which one to buy Wellingborough or Sunderland. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
