Oxford Diecast
1:76 Scale
For OO Gauge model railways
The Ford Transit has been on the UK’s roads since 1965 with
numerous upgrades, facelifts and configurations along the way. The
Mk 2 first appeared in 1977, having been completely restyled with a longer nose
to accommodate a revised engine. The Ford Transit had so many computations; it
could be adapted for almost any purpose as some of the tooling modifications on
this latest introduction show.
It is registered CYV 878V from 1979 and appears with a long
wheelbase, customised further for use as a London Fire Brigade Divisional
Control Unit. Tooling modifications include two blue beacons fixed to the front
and rear of the roof, as well as a further silver and red roof pod positioned
in the centre. The van also has a very wide single rear window. The Post Office
red body features a white chequered band printed along the waist on both sides
and across the back, leaving the bonnet plain red. The London Fire Brigade
lettering and crest are printed in gold on the main side panels with the
Divisional Control Unit written in white below. Exterior trim, apart from
silver wheels, is all finished in black. The interior is also moulded in black
with red interior door panel inserts.
In most instances Oxford Diecast models come in a plastic case, and the model is attached to the packaging base via small screws. These need to be removed in order to release the model.
Please DO NOT pull the model from the base with out removing the screws.
