Couldn't agree with you more, Gerry. Like what I can see in your photo.

Living in the West Midlands means that almost all the passenger types currently running locally (with the exception of the 323, and 172) are/have been available or announced in RTR form. OK some of the DMUs are short formed. The missing ones can be made from kits or Adam's excellent overlays.

Buses are another matter. Maybe there is another topic here for the modern buses wishlist.

Me too, but as they don't do figures to go with it I just guess we'll have to assume he's disappeared into the hedge for a call of nature

You could always have a pair of legs poking out from under a car, hard at work refixing the exhaust.

Or a pair of legs poking out from under the hedge 'cos the farmer saw him

LOL

Mine will be by the station, so popped in for a chat 

February new releases:-

NFG005.         Foden FG dray - Scottish & Newcastle Brewery
NMN005.        Mini - Lime Green
NOWB004.      Bedford OWB Utility bus - Southern National

Hmmm ... what years would the dray be valid across ?

The FG with this style of cab was introduced in 1950. I don't know the registration of the S&N one yet to be more precise, or to check whether it is preserved.

Edit: Reg no. is ESF324C which is a preserved vehicle.

Ah    Just too late for me ...

Oh well ... thanks anyway 

The updated catalogue is now available to view online at:-

http://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/ebooks/feb-may2015/

The N items are on pages 30 - 36. Though the other pages might offer ideas for what might come or be wanted in N too.

There is a download option at the bottom of the "flipping book" page. This is a big high resolution file to view and download, so be warned!
