| The OOC Zone Web Site Launches |
Welcome to my new web site dedicated to the models produced by Corgi in it Original Omnibus Company & Oriental Omnibus Company ranges. The aim of the site is to cover the OOC models in much the same way as I have already done with EFE's on my EFE Zone site, you will soon notice that I've had to use scans from various OOC catalogues to illustrate about half of the total releases, I would like to thank Emma Phillips at Corgi for authorizing their use on this site. I hope in time to add more pictures of the actual production models, I already have some photographs waiting to be added in the coming days. A list of those models requiring pictures will be added in the next few days and any help filling the gaps would be most welcome. There are also some gaps when it comes to the advertisement details, in many cases I've only had the official Corgi Catalogue photograph as a reference and so can only give details of the adverts visible, again if anyone can fill the gaps please email me. Finally I hope you find the information contained on this site useful, there are bound to be a few errors somewhere so if you spot one again let me know. Best regards |
