Checking in
Hello - My first post in this forum - as recommended by Keb1 (along with a certain Firefox add-on).
My main interest is 7mm railway modelling so I am always interested in obtaining suitable sized scale road vehicle models
for my particular period of modelling - British - circa 1920 - 1950 - and usually in any condition.

Re: Checking in
Welcome aboard Ken. O gauge is near as makes no odds 1/43, and Oxford seem to be slowly getting round to modelling vehicles from that era. Hope you find our little forum helpful. and do feel free to join in. We are a happy bunch of peeps on here. Oxford Die-cast have an excellent website, and you can view online for free their latest magazine, which often has news of up and coming releases from Taff & the gang, who all appear to be ex Corgi. I know one of their chief designers is ex Corgi Classics.
http://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/ is their homepage. They also do direct mail order.

Thanks a lot for that link Marty
There's at least 2 vehicles in their 1/43 list which would be feasible for my layout

Sunbeam Talbots on their way and Armstrong Siddleys. Should be right up your street. And that's what forums are about. Their 1/43 scale taxis are absolutely superb. Might be tempted with one of them myself.

I can see my bank balance shrinking soon
I think I need to hit the toy fairs too when I can and pick up some battered vehicles to restore

Aye the junk boxes can be a treasure trove I went to my local toyfair yesterday, and picked up a few 1/43 bargains. Too modern for you though as they are 1960s to 1980s..Plus sometimes you come across dealers clearing out joblots cheap.

Marty -
Would it be within your rules for me to open a 1/43 topic letting members know I'm interested
in buying vehicles of my period in virtually any condition from new to scrapbox?
Or is there a For Sale/Wanted section I haven't found yet - my fault, been pushed for time this week.
Cheers
Ken

Ah... Oh well, thank goodness for Ebay....
The Swap Shop is a great idea. Never know what we might be able to help each other out with.
