Re: Oxford Diecast 2022 TT models announced

[javlinfaw7]

Oxford have announced 6 models as a start of their TT range

[gc4946]

It's only a start ... will the range be fully replicated in 1:120?
However there were Corgi 1:120 buses produced for the London 2012 Olympics which could find their way onto a layout once repainted, a Routemaster and dual-door Enviro 400
I own an Enviro 400 which I bought cheaply when the Olympics ended

I bet there's a race on to identify which cheap "toy" diecast models are compatible with 1:120??

Some of the old Matchbox models were to around that scale. The catalogue used at one point to list the scales of all the models — they varied from 1:64 downwards. I've kept all the models I have, but unfortunately not the catalogue :-(

Here's such a list for the "regular wheels" Matchbox models (from 1953 up to ca. 1970 when low-friction "Superfast" wheels replaced the "regular" ones).

I had an email this morning that these six items are ready to order. They have been made in conjunction with Hornby and they are using a variation of the Hornby TT branding
