Title: BT models ?
Post by: Oldman on July 23, 2013, 05:22:07 PM

Not seen any in the flesh. How good are they?
I know I have been spoilt in the past with Tomytec road vehicles, and have a few Oxford Diecast.

Have bookmarked the one I'm interested in from our own E-Bay expert

They look pretty good. Shame they're a bit too modern for me.

They're OK for the price but nothing special. In both 4mm and 2mm they're considered a budget range - a bit basic in detail and the fit and finish is sometimes inconsistent compared to the likes of Oxford Diecast, Corgi, EFE etc, but that is reflected in a lower price.

Thanks guys,
Was the tempted with the new Oxford Diecast Foden model but don't know when it will be released.

I have not got a confirmed release date for the Oxford model yet. The BT models have been quite popular and generally very well received. I am due to get some stock of a Pantecnicon today or tommorow.

I was lucky to get the last of the specific model you showed as they had sold out of them at my supplier. They pre-allocate items, and send when I get a large enough carraige paid order built up.

Thanks for the reply Bob. Still undecided - Lorries are not currently highest on the shopping list.

Hi Oldman,

Have three of the BT models and think they are quite good. So am attaching a picture of 2 posed next to an Oxford Scamell.

Have an Albion 8 wheeler but can't remember where I parked it!
