Warbonnet Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 We are now stocking the Irish variants of the Oxford Diecast range! Oxford Diecast have produced a number of Irish specific vehicles in recent years and we will now stock any Irish outline vehicle from their range going forward. We will also further grow our Irish vehicle range this year with more commissions and stock from other manufacturers, so keep an eye out for more news throughout 2021! In the meantime, the following Oxford vehicles are now in stock and ready for immediate dispatch. All are 1:76 scale so perfect for your OO gauge layout and collections. Limited stock available! Check the full range out here: https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/vehicles Cheers! Fran 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Nice one, ordered some. Now in the future if you also had some of the old buses, old vans or old lorrys from the 1960s, 1970s that would be amazing. The green goddess is a must have classic Edited January 27, 2021 by Noel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphaph Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 This is really good stuff. I'm especially looking forward to new commissions, especially typically "Irish" cars (cheaper cars like Daihatsu Charades, Nissan Micras, Toyota Starlets etc.) that you saw a lot more of in Ireland than the UK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbonnet Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hi everyone, After the unprecedented demand for our previous stock of Irish-themed Oxford Diecast vehicles in OO gauge, we have ordered your favourites back into stock and expanded the range to include plant and machinery, tractors, generic vans, trucks and Irish outline buses too! So, if you need to populate your layout with vehicles, or you just want to add some to your collection, check out some highlights below, or browse the full range by clicking here. Even more stock on the way too! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbonnet Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Thanks everyone, several lines have sold out already but we have further stock on the way. Lot's of interest in the generic commercial vehicles and farm stuff. Would the interest be there in cars too? They would all have UK registrations but are the correct scale. We can look to order them in if the demand is there. Cheers, Fran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Fran Stuff like Opel Astras, Volkswagon Golfs, Ford Escorts etc will surely sell well, even with the UK registrations, as they're Irish deep down!

True, but the Astras would be Vauxhall of course with Oxford being UK based. So a bit different grille wise! We're just as passionate about vehicles here in IRM as trains (as big a hobby for me personally!), so we can look to stock items that would compliment Irish layouts well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars, trucks, vans, buses and even a bit of plant for my sins! All hold an interest with me and have done since childhood. Pretty much anything that moves and has an engine!

Although, 1/72 Real-X and Cararama don't look too bad alongside the trains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphaph Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 There's a HK based company called "Tiny" that also do the odd 1/76 item. Must be the British heritage or something. They make mostly HK specific vehicles but they do make a UK St. John Ambulance that would also work fine on an Irish layout. Not as cheap as Oxford mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK St John's Ambulance is different to Irish St John's Ambulance. The UK one is a creation of the 19th century while Ireland has the actual Sovereign Military Order of Malta doing the same thing.

We have some more nice exclusives of our own coming throughout the year, the first of which is not too far away so keep an eye out for it! 20 minutes ago, ttc0169 said: A speedy delivery from IRM-(thanks lads)-sees the Komatsu excavator en route to its new home at the Riverside permanent way depot. Cheers, Noel! It looks right at home. It’s certainly been a popular one, along with the other bits of plant we offered. More on the way too next week, including some new items and stock replenishment. Cheers! Fran 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
