| OOC News From the London Toy Fair |
| Corgi attended last weeks London Toy Fair and several of the proposed 2008 OOC models were displayed to the trade visitors on their stand. Very early work in progress prototypes of the new Crossley double deck buses were present. These show the two styles of upper deck castings one with curved lower window lines and the other with the more standard straight profile.     An example of the Scania Irizar PB Coach was also present in the Citylink livery again this appears to be a pre-production example but it already looks well up to the standard of the Plaxton Coaches released last year.  Some of the other 2008 pre-production models were also exhibited.
