SMR248 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hopefully this isn't considered too off topic.So far the only Hornby Tt:120 items I've purchased are three Oxford Road vehicles (looking forward to the A4 trainset..).I wonder what else we can expect to see in the near future?Or what would we like to see. I'd start with a post war Scammell Scarab or a postwar Austin taxi or an original VW Beetle (I confess to having suddenly acquired quite a lot of German stuff).

RDS Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 @SMR248This is certainly not off topic. Lots of users, myself included, will be looking for more Oxford Rail road vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 @SMR248 I too would love a Scammell Scarab in TT, not a Beetle though, I hate the vile things, I would have to have a TT car crusher to deal with the menace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britishcolum Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 For Continental cars look at Continental producers. A lot of what's available is either east bloc or very modern, but there are some other options likehttps://railnscale.com/modern-vehicles-tt-scale/who have a fair selection of West German cars from the 70s and 80s.

britishcolum Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I would hope for Oxford to concentrate on British road vehicles. (Rover 2000 would be a dream come true...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-Dane Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I hope that Oxford Diecast will fix their webshop - it isn´t possible to order to EU countries!!I can order to Brazil or Turkmenistan, but not to Denmark, just across the North Sea....strange???

96RAF Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I suggest you contact support from the Oxford Die-cast website, as it apparently does not come under the bailiwick of Hornby Hobbies IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-Dane Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Oxford Diecast say that it will be fixed....but they have said that for 3 months now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulsanne88 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 At the weekend I emailed Oxford Diecast to enquire about the next wave of tt vehiclesThey replied this morning to say that there is nothing new due before the end of 2024!!Gutted My layout roads will be looking quite sparse for some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulsanne88 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Does anyone have any suggestions for road vehicles to populate a tt layout?Apart from the 6 Oxford vehicles I have a couple of old Matchbox majors that just about scale out ok and also a couple of Tiny Hong Kong new routemasters which at 1:110 fit in fine. So currently my layout is based in London!!Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For more modern times (like 1970s onwards), there are a variety of sources for Continental and Asian types (if you can ignore that they're LHD)... https://sites.google.com/view/auta3d/auta-cars?pli=1https://railnscale.com/modern-vehicles-tt-scale/ Herpa have some modern Continental lorries and Soviet-era East Bloc automobiles, various other producers make military equipment, mostly east bloc as well... and there is a guy in Ukraine (working under the name Rail TT) who makes North American road vehicles from a 1908 Ford to a 1950s Greyhound bus to a 1977 Trans Am in 1:120 (I can supply more info on this if needed too)...

Mulsanne88 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I have the GWR Hst on order , so my time period is the present. However I will theme the layout as a preserved railway with an outdoor vehicle display, so anything goes really.It also gives me the excuse to have any trains I want running on the layout I will make some enquiries about the chap in Ukraine, sounds good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britishcolum Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I will make some enquiries about the chap in Ukraine, sounds good This is a full list of everything he's made thus far: https://www.ttnut.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=3655 If you search "railtt" on ebay the currently available products will come up, he sells primarily via ebay. If there's something specific you want from the all time list either I can pass it on, or you can post on the thread linked above (it's the North American TT scale forum, but not restricted to NorAm outline, anything goes as long as it's 1:120 and written in English) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I can’t help but think Oxford Diecast have really missed a trick here. Tooling up for a model car that has no workings must be much easier and cheaper than locomotives. As 3D printing is already filling the gaps in accessories with some excellent models I can see one of the model car/van/truck specialists, re scaling and pulling the rug from under them.

Mulsanne88 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 So it seems that both Oxford Diecast and Metcalfe have no immediate plans to release tt items in the near futureMetcalfe I can understand given their recent expansion costs but Oxford?They are owned by Hornby so why are they being so hesitant. The original 6 issues were great but that’s just left us all wanting moreCome on Mr K , put some gentle pressure on them to release some more vehicles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
