Last week 2 x AA patrol bikes today, 2 x Bedford Ice cream vans arrived.  Reckon I can fit an icecream seller inside the vans..

Great models.

About time OXFORD realised not everyone models pre 1950 stuff, with very few exceptions their models are in a time warp,  some of us do 21st centuries
Another house move despite "never again" has given me a second floor layout so Geominster Mainline & Heritage Line will be modified and enlarged with siding storage.

My Facebook Diary is Geominster if anyone wants to view it please ask, it is a private group requiring acceptance, thanks.

This then is my third version modified which has been improved from previous efforts and lessons learned.

Geominster was my first project which has now been dismantled. Having learnt so much from  previous Geominster projects this is the latest one.

Latest Youtube video is here.

And indeed some mid 1960s/1970s models would be nice too.  I'm assuming that Oxford know a lot about making model road vehicles and little about railways; they seem to assume everyone has a 1950s set steam layout :no:
If it's not a Diesel Hydraulic then it's not a real locomotive.

I would imagine 60's and 70's would be popular amongst those just beginning their railway modelling hobby as they would have grown up in those days

:D :D  Thank you George, but I'm 62, have lost count of the number of layouts I've built and LOVE, nay, too weak a word, ADORE ALL the Hydraulic  :drool: classes - see my 'tag line' - hence all my layouts are set in the late 1960s AS (After Steam) and early 1970s BT (Before TOPS).

Definitely want to get one of those ice cream vans.
I'm sure I'll get used to cream first soon.

The Ice cream van is a nice model and I agree some modern/60s/70s vehicles would be welcome.

Dunno about fitted (except for Mrs HGV throwing a one  ::)) but you can always go "vroom vroom" & then sing the Cornetto song while you push it :P

George, you have given me an idea for a new project.... I build small digital voice recorders and then put them under my DC layout at strategic locations.... running water beside stream, neighing horses beside horses, etc operated by push button on the layout's fascia.

Record Mr Whippy, put speaker and push button near the van, and, voila!  :thumbsup:

I thought the pink ones were Mr Whippy?

But maybe Tonibell painted them pink too?
