OK, can someone please confirm if Neo is leaving HO scale? I was eventually going to get a few models, especially the 69' Charger if it was produced.

Yes, NEO is leaving H0-scale. But Oxford diecast appear as well as Minichamps.

I guess that means we don't get our 68 Chargers. I was really looking forward to those and was planning on buying at least one of each of the four versions (even though they would have been about $35 each). There were four different part numbers which probably meant four different colors. I would have bought at least one of the 69 Rivieras as well.

Dear All:
At the MCCH Matchbox site,there are photos of the 1/87 scaled Oxford Diecast Edsel,Thunderbird,Lincoln Zephir;these are the original,unpainted castings,which should be or were present at the Toy Fair.Since I like this brand,these will be added to the collection.I also like the Zephir.A Mercury will also be done;I would had liked more if they had done a four-door version of.
And a bit off-course,but quick:BHOH is carrying the Sylvan Miniatures.Despite the fact they are kits,I am seriously considering to add these to the collection.

I'm still waiting for the 2012 Welly announcements to hit the stores in the US. One dealer on E-bay from Hong Kong was selling them, but why the unusually long wait? I like Welly, always have, but make it easier to buy your products. The partnership with Atlas hasn't done a thing to expedite matters.
I'm guessing Neo's prices didn't make them the seller in HO they could have been. I would have had at least 8 in my collection if they were priced at 25.00 each.
Also, is Oxford brand new to HO scale? Interesting development, but only if they are painted and assembled and priced right. Please make these available through Walthers in the US.

Dear Vito:
Oxford Diecast started by using Lledo Buses and giving these new liveries;then 1/76 scale and later 1/43 and other scales,such N Gauge.The Lledp buses were HO, but done by someone else.Hence,these models are their first try on HO.Of course,by having a mainstay on OO and N Gauge,they are molding vehicles for the model railroaders.And their units have lots of details,so their HO vehicles will be nice.

I wonder if the quality of the Oxford diecast is as well as you suggest. They are pretty cheap anyway and gives a good overlook of the model. We'll wait and see. More interresting for me are the developments of Artitec. They showed a line of 3 very early DAF models. But it seems that there will also comes the CWT/CMP Chevy/Ford www.ho-modelautoclub.nl/prachtige-verrassing-van-artitec-oude-daf-jes/

I saw on Metal87's site that IXO is going to produce two Aryton Senna F1 models as keyrings (1/87 scale approximate). One model is the McLaren MP4/4 from 1988 and the other is the Lotus 97T from 1985. Pictures of the models can be found at: www.minitec.pt/IXO/FutureNews.htm (scroll about half way down the page) A complete report (including the IXO keyrings) can be found by downloading this pdf file: metall87.bayreuth-guide.de/Messebericht%202013.pdfAs a fan of Formula One (and Senna), these look like great additions.

Oxford Diecast models will be good value for price. I am pretty sure that they made the road rager Chrysler valiants etc under contract. Their 1/76 models are best sellers with UK railway modellers.
