Oxford Rail Update March 2024

Oxford Rail Update March 2024

For those of you who attended Warley Model Rail Show in November 2023, will know that we featured some first shots of the J26. We also had a 3D print of the much anticipated Cowans & Sheldon 15t Crane. Here we are updating you on the progress of development. .

J26

Current Stage

We have just finalised the CAD for our tooling amendments and we are now looking forward to receiving new samples. We have reworked this product to ensure that it is produced accurately to a high standard.

Once we have received the latest samples, we will make any necessary amendments before moving to production.

Below – 3D render of all four versions of the J26, (Left to right OR76J26001, OR76J26002, OR76J26003 and OR76J26004).

Product Updates

There are the 4 standard versions and 4 Sound Fitted versions we will be releasing Q4 2024 (estimated date)

From our original announcement Version 001, we have amended the tooling and changed variant name. We have also announced version 004, an NER version.

John Storey - March 14, 2024

Thank you for this update on progress with the J26 and the Cowans & Sheldon 15t crane. Many of us are looking forward to these being available: it is really good to know progress is being made,

Tony Burgess - March 14, 2024

Many modellers need to know what make of sound chip will be offered – from the time a new loco is announced. Can you please make this your policy? It really does matter! And some would possibly also like to know the speaker type and size. (I bought a sound-fitted Adams Radial – pleased it had a Loksound chip, but the speaker wasn’t correctly installed so there was insufficient volume at max..)

Douglas Judd - March 14, 2024

I would like one OR76SCS2001 crane reserving for me please.

Paul Cruttenden - March 14, 2024

When the crane comes in.

James Gillott - March 14, 2024

I’m really interested in the Crane and would appreciate it if you could email me with any news.
Many thanks
James Gillott

Mark Roberts - March 14, 2024

Good news about the crane I’m certainly looking forward to it being released.
Would like a re-run of the banana vans as well.

Gary Woods - March 14, 2024

Any future plans to re-release your excellent N7
as Liverpool Street West Side pilot engine 69614 ?
This would look great alongside Accurascales J69 68619 !!
Cheers
Gary

Colin Clark - March 14, 2024

Another North Eastern engine? Great stuff! How about a P1/J25 next please or maybe an A8? Will definitely be getting a J26 or maybe 2

Phil Sutters - March 14, 2024

Looking forward to the crane. The price when it was first announced looked very reasonable. Has that changed?

David - March 14, 2024

Will you ever produce a loco to run with your mk3s?
A class 86 perhaps…
