Hi All,
After visiting my local shop the man there informed me Oxford diecast have plans to produce 'N' gauge vechiles after seeing the 1:76 / OO examples in his cabinet for the money they are very good value, has anyone heard anything about this as it is time some decent vechiles where produced for N gauge apart from American items.
The odd little standard Vanguard could find many a home surely.

A new range of British N Scale models- starts October. Kicking off with the Routemaster and the OB Coach

**Wonder why they'd want the wheels of all their models 9mm apart???

Sorry

Its one of my pet niggles - Its a common habit to use gauge and scale indiscriminately, definately confused by UK's perverse approach to common scale/gauge relationships, but all items other than rolling stock and track are to a specific scale, not a gauge!!!

(Mind you, a vanguard was about 5'9" wide overall so its wheels WOULD be pretty cose to 9mm apart in 1: 148 scale)

Alright then I won't - mind you I do a bit of that sort of hobbying myself (mainly buses, but a few cars and light commercials as well!)

This is indeed excellent news as the currently available vehicles from such as Fleetline are decidedly 'naff'.

I too will be placing an advance order for as many as I can find to fit my era.

Thanks for the link poliss.
