Oxford Rail Cowans Sheldon 15 ton cranes

Post by Rich123 »

Does anyone have any updates regarding the release of the above? I've contacted Oxford Rail a couple of times and either I get no reply or I'm told that they are under development.

They're now 'available to pre-order' (astonishingly still for less than 20 quid but with no due date) on the Hornby website, so they presumably haven't forgotten about them.

They have been available to preorder since before Covid.

But now on Hornby's site rather than just on Oxford's.

I have actually pre-ordered one through The Model Centre and have asked them to weather it. They have no idea as to when it will be released. I needed a crane for an exhibition layout so I splashed out on a Ransomes & Rapier crane (about 1/2 price at TMC) but I still want the Cowans Sheldon crane.
