Oxford Diecast - 2014 new announcements

[woodbury22uk]

Toyfair time again. Hopefully over the next few days photos will emerge of the previously announced items in production form. Amongst the newly announced items, I'm looking forward to the Scania artic tippers (right for a lot of modern bulk terminals), and the Portsmouth Bedford OWB bus.

It's a shame that Oxford seem to be woefully short when it comes to commercial vehicles.
I was hoping for much more I the way of lorries and trucks.

[woodbury22uk]

The full range is listed here, without the new additions in the first post.

Probably short of cars as well as small trucks. Plenty of buses and coaches.

Nice to have a few more N gauge cars.

Still a poor choice compared to the 1:76 range but hopefully Oxford will put a few of its OO range through the shrink ray...

[AndyGif]

Hmm a few things there to take my fancy.
Yellow BR commer van, will have those.

And for those  more upto date,  there is a network rail transit crew van in the forward pipeline

I'd be interested in the Mini, Beetle & Commer PB, N scale is seriously lacking in 1970's & 1980's cars & commercials 

cheers, Stu.

There are several Intertrans 148 MAN F90 artics, in UK liveries, on eBay right now: excellent models, suitable for late 1980s-1990s era.

Edit: here's a link -

Seems rather a long wait for a rather slim list.

I've had the white mini on pre-order since last June.

It'd be nice to see Oxford replicating the Motorcycle combo's they've done in 1:76 for us.

Is it me or is there a huge gap in the market for decent convincing N gauge Motorcycles? 

Let's face it they were a very common affordable mode of transport in the era that many of us model.

1:148 Oxford Omnibus

NOWB003 Bedford OWB Portsmouth Q3

I'd like to know whether the Portsmouth OWB is to be released in wartime grey like its larger scale counterpart or in its postwar maroon/white with yellow lining which they carried until the early 60s.

I have not seen the images for this one yet but most likely to be the wartime and currently-preserved grey with red stripe as for the 1/76 version.

A good picture of the Eddie Stobart artics half way down this page:-

 Images of forthcoming items available on pages 31 to 37 here.

Confirms that the  Portsmouth  OWB  will be grey with a red stripe.

Oxford Diecast have indicated that the following are for Feb/March 2014 release.

First issues of the Bedford Lomas Ambulance, Mini, Morris Minor, and the two Scania artics.
