I would like them to release trailers for the Scammels  without the tractor. When I worked in the goods yard at Brentwood back in the 60's BR had two Scammels and a Bedford tractor unit but about 6 box trailers and the same number of flatbeds which could be pulled by either.

Good suggestion Steve. Oxford did 2 trailer packs in 1/76 but it seems they are very slow sellers. I think they are/were for LNER, BR (red/cream), BR (yellow), Pickfords, Southern, LMS flat, LMS tank, GWR flat and van. The two BR van versions with the black/white chequer crosstown cartage markings seem to be the only ones sold out. Have a look here under the codes 76MH***T and 76RAB***T to see the range

Probably worth emailing Oxford to make the suggestion.

Oxford will be announcing the next tranche new castings and liveries in the next week or so. Look out for a Scania fire appliance and some more artic trailers.

I hope they come up with some new castings. The actual range, if you discount different colour schemes is really quite limited.
