Shite in Miniature II

Are you sure? I have an ambulance on the same chassis, that seems to have been widely available, possibly even still is.

That's a Convoy though, I'm talking about the old Leyland Dad/LDV 400 that was a rebadged Sherpa. I knew mine was too small for 1/43! It's RHD and in British gas livery. I also have a 1/50 Lion Toys DAF 3300 lorry. Absolutely the most solidly built models I own!

It's like a drug is collecting diecast shite, 3 more added today, one wasn't cheap at £30 from egay, but the other 2 were, A Minichamps Ford Capri mk2, and 2 Vanguards police cars, an Essex Plod Marina 1.8, and a Met Plod Sunbeam. The Vanguards were a bargainous £6.50 each! Got em from an auction house's shop in Felixstowe, had a bit of diecast in, including Vitesse Renners and Toyota Corolla bug eye hatch at well under £10 each. Looks like Arthur's been a naughty boy :P

i would love some one, either Vanguards or Oxford to do a Metro.... since between them both makers offer the Princess, Allegro, Marina ect

 

maybe, one day someone will!

 

but Bachmann seem to have some odd ideas when it comes to their pricing policy, such as £25 for a Presflo??

 

i've been making do with the old Airfix/Dapol kit at £7 a pop.

 

someone must be buying them though, i guess?

And EFE are now in the hands of Bachmann, which was inevitable, Frank Joyce can now retire, and Bachmann will try and sell overpriced, crude models for top dollar!

The price is a bit salty but EFE aren't half as crude as Britbus or some Corgi 00C offerings. Some of their castings really need either revised or retired though as they're getting on for 30 years old now. Will be interesting to see what they do next.
