Specific Item Information: The Ford Transit in Network Rail livery in 1:76 scale was introduced into the Oxford Commercials series a couple of years ago. Now, appealing particularly to modern railway modellers of N gauge, we are pleased to release this long wheelbase version in 1:148 scale. As before, it features a simple clean white body in contrast to the blue and red company logo on the side doors and rear side panelling. Additional features include a masked 'window' on the side and the Ford logo on the back doors. It represents the vehicle registered YS57 WPJ, as delivered in 2007.
