Oxford Diecast / Hornby Mag Models

I got the one from Model Rail - only thing of interest in the mag :-) Keep meaning to send off for the Hornby mag one.

Where was the offer please?

It was on a pull-out insert within the mag but you can also order via Oxford's website :-

Same with 'Model Rail', but they want £4.60 or thereabouts to send it to the US. I'm going to pass.

Typing the 'US' there reminds me of what you blokes said it stood for in the

There is no free Cresta.

One of the best bits of the offer is the catalog that comes at about the same time (but not with it). Has excellent list with photos of whats available that includes dates of manufacture. Can now buy stuff thats a bit closer to my modelling period instead of what I remember.

Speaking of modelling period, see in that forum where ill word not allowed comments about LMS locos still on the shelves few years after BR ones long gone. Now Bachmann seem to be ignoring pre-BR with their latest releases. Are we heading for the stage where Grouping liveries dont appear at all ?

Cheers, Simon

In the smaller scales, yes.

I suspect the Big Four liveries will remain popular in the larger scales for some considerable time yet.
