Oxford Rail Standard Cowans Sheldon 15T Crane Update
We have an update on one of the most asked-about items since Oxford Rail began -largely due to how long it has taken to bring it to market. We won’t go into too much detail here, but as many of you know, a lot has changed since this item was first announced: from Covid, to bringing the business back into family ownership, to structural staff changes, and ultimately having to restart the project almost from scratch.
The crane has required extensive development to accommodate the complex mechanisms to operate the jib and the hook. With the addition of the accompanying match truck, another essential element was introduced, one we felt the project simply couldn’t be without.

Despite some stumbling blocks, and with all preceding projects now delivered, this is our main focus. The item is currently in the tooling stage, and we are hopeful to see the first shots very soon. We had hoped to have these available to show at the Festival of Model Railways this coming weekend; however, this has unfortunately not been possible.
Now to the most talked-about point: the price. When we announced this item back in 2020, we fully acknowledge that the indicative price was incorrect. The project has since evolved significantly and now sits at a very different price point. This will be a fully mechanically working crane with an accompanying match truck for support and transport, and it will retail at £99.95. We are confident that this represents strong value within the current market and remains true to our brand ethos of supplying great models at great prices.
We are confident that this will be a best seller, a standout model to add to your collection, offering the opportunity to create scenic layouts, run it as part of a train, and enjoy plenty of play value thanks to its fully poseable design.
