OM46704A&B - DESTINATIONS Thank you to everybody who has written today regarding the destination blind shown on the photograph of model OM46704B and the incorrect spelling of Dudley. The photograph shown last evening is of a very early PP sample. On January 3rd CLICK HERE Corgi advised that the destinations for the models would read:
OM46704A – 27 Wolverhampton via Gornal Wood At this time I don't appear to have an amended pre-production photograph, but trust that the above will allay the fears of the many West Midlands fans looking forward to receiving the models. Saturday 17th May 2014 |

LONDON MODEL OM46609B UPDATE I can confirm that the B version will not be released this week, only the A version will be, as I reported. There is nothing sinister in the B versions non appearance. I understand that the factory sent the entire production run of the A version but only part of the B version. Rather than release the B version in two releases, I understand that Corgi have taken the decision to hold back the part consignment they received and then release the entire run in one go at a future date to be advised.
