New Oxford Diecast cars etc which I've seen advertised this week .......2 cv , old style mini , VW beetle (old style) , VW campervan variants & VW pickup . Ric

These are the 1/76 scale ones AFAIK.

Mike

ok Mike, thank you. 

That's the annoying thing - when you see the vast range they do in 1/76 it makes the N gauge offerings all the more pathetic 


Paul

Kernow Model Centre !! Happy spending !!! Ric

Oops , sorry if I've misled people....they are in the n gauge section , with Oxford Diecast n gauge codes . What can you do Ric

Best tell Oxford that, as per this link they are listed on their own website as being 1:148. http://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/eras/1_148_1970__Current.htm

Ooooh,  Herbie    I could use one of those...

They are in N Gauge, but not yet released. I am not sure when they will arrive add they have been announced for over a year now.

I agree with Richard

I have a booklet from last year with them in 

And people call Dapol and Farish for late releases

Clever marketing when you think about it.
Create a buzz about new models in the pipeline at the very beginning and then when they do come to market we are all eagerly waiting with our wallets poised!   

The new oxford catalogue is avaiable on line at:-

http://media.solnet.co.uk/oxford/feb-may-2013/files/od%20feb-may%2013%20ebook.pdf

The N items are on pages 33 to 40. Good to see a couple of current cars in the 1/76 line-up - Vauxhall Corsa and Bentley Mulsanne.

These were promosed ages ago and scheduled for release in 2012. The VW was shown as to be available in minibus and pick up versions and there was also an Austin Mini in the line-up. What has happened to them?

These are probably in the next picture the photographer took but decided not to publish. 

I suppose you could always ask Oxford Diecast or rely on the revised dates in the new catalogue as linked in an earlier post.
