EFE CORGI GS89201 BEST OF
BRITISH NEW BUS FOR LONDON - PHOTOGRAPHS GS89201 New Bus for London Prior to the release of this model I have read various reports speculating as to the scale of it. I recently read it was 1:64th scale. I have therefore taken a series of photographs showing the model against a Corgi OOC New Bus for London OM46610A New Bus for London - Go Ahead London on Route 11 to Liverpool St. As can be seen from the photographs the differences in size are minimal. The Best of British model is fractionally longer, otherwise they are both almost an identical size. You can also compare the differences in finish between the two models e.g. fleet names, painted in light clusters, registration number and fleet number etc. Photograph 1 CLICK

RAIL
NEWS FROM OXFORD DIECAST Taff at Oxford Diecast has just contacted me to advise of breaking news regarding their new Oxford Rail products. The following appears on their new Oxford Rail website CLICK HERE to view, on which you can register to receive news and updates on their railway products: For some years the development team at 'Oxford' have been examining the possibilities of bringing their undoubted skills at producing accurate and detailed models to the varied and diverse world of the UK model railway market and have now decided that the time is right for them to launch their first model. Introduced under the Oxford Rail banner, the inaugural locomotive will be the much vaunted Adams Radial, Class 415, however this new division is not just interested in producing adhoc and random locomotives, but have established a development plan of introductions not seen in the UK for many years. CEO Lyndon Davies explained. "I, along with my development team have been closely monitoring, for several years the interest in model railways especially in the UK and now believe that the time is right for Oxford Rail to enter the market. Anyone who knows me is aware that I would not be interested in just introducing the odd locomotive. We have a rolling planned introduction program based on extensive market research, as well as sitting down and talking to the modeller, and more importantly listening! I am determined that Oxford Rail will be seen and judged on the integrity and the quality of our models that I, along with my team will be offering. Our first model, which I am really excited about will be the Adams Radial, Class 415 but there will be other items announced in the not too distant future and not all will be locomotives. This first item is already in tooling and will be launched in 2015, with first shots in Q1 2015." The Oxford Rail website is now active and further updates on new introductions and their development will be part of the site with enthusiasts and modellers being invited to comment. Products will be available through all good hobby shops and specialist outlets. Further announcements will be made shortly, but for the moment Oxford Rail wish it to be known that they are now open for business and it is the business of providing excellent quality models". Details of the new locomotive: BR 4-4-2T Adams radial Saturday 8th November 2014 |
