There is also an OWB with Warstone Motors. This has the same type of "restored" body as Portsmouth CTP200.

Announced this morning by Oxford Rail are two new car packs for 1960s and 1970s aimed at Carflat users. Attractive list price but do not get excited that new car types are included. They are not.

Each set includes 4 cars from the selection shown in the listing.

Not sure what I think about this.

The link says they're 1/76th, not N gauge

But they are definitely 1/148! I'll let Oxford know they have the description wrong.

Hi

Perhaps not they may be 1/76 for their own 4mm carflat

Oxford have definitely got it wrong! The heading says 1/76th but the description says N scale
Whatever, I shan't be paying virtually the same price as for four individual cars where I can choose the ones I want.

Description has been corrected to confirm 1/148 scale.

I intend to start a new 2017 topic at the end of December, which will update and supersede this post.

The new catalogue from Oxford Diecast can now be viewed and downloaded from here:-

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1017/3257/files/OCT_16-JAN_17_low_res.pdf?12675626043022092227

The N items are on pages 31-37, and page 43. Browsing the other scales will only produce envy so should not be contemplated.

Three new deliveries this coming week:-

NIRZ003 Irizar PB coach - Ulsterbus
NMB001  Mercedes actros with curtainside trailer - Eddie Sobart
NVOL4001 Volvo FH4 with curtainside trailer - Eddie Stobart

The two tractor units are from new patterns.

Thought I would try the wet weather look to show the new Volvo FH4 and Mercedes Actros cab units. Unfortunately it is always dry on the layout. Can't face making everything look wet.

As of today Oxford Diecast has been launched in the first of a number of Edinburgh Woollen Mill branches. I do not yet have a list of all the planned venues, or whether the N range will be stocked in all of them. The one started today is at the Kernow Mill Shopping Centre, on the A38 near to Saltash.

End of November deliveries :-

NLAN188008 Land Rover Series 1 - Civil Defence
NMWD003    Bedford MWD - RAF
NSFE005    Scania Pump Ladder - Essex County F & R
NTEA003    Ferguson Tractor - Emerald

There may still be one further delivery before the end of December.

Hi Mike,

Any hints as to when the NSHL01CT Scania Highline D-TEC Combitrailer - Container Eddie Stobart might be here?

cheers

Ben A.
