| EFE & Corgi OOC Model Buses Guide Pre-Orders |
| Nigel Mitchell from London Bus Repaints & Transfers has contacted me regarding some important information concerning the next edition of the "EFE & Corgi OOC Model Buses - A Collectors Reference Guide". Sadly due to family related circumstances he has reluctantly decided to end his involvement as publisher of the guide and will therefore be unable to deal with any pre-orders for the 8th edition which is due in the Summer 2008. He would like those proposing to pre-order the next edition to ignore the details and order form printed in the current edition as any payments he receives will have to be returned to the sender. Anne Letch the guides author is still intending to produce a new edition in 2008 and is currently arranging a new publisher. Once this is done revised details of how to place advance orders will be posted on the LBRT website. |
| No OOC Releases Before Christmas |
| I've had several emails asking whether I'm still maintaining the OOC Zone, the answer is yes but sadly in recent months I've had very little in the way of news to report. The last standard OOC model releases occurred back in the first week of September and since that date the only other items released have been a pair of Translink Wright Urbans produced exclusively for Corgi Collector Club Members. The list of model releases scheduled for the first three week of December doesn't include any OOC models either even though there are still eleven outstanding 2007 items. I'll pass on any news of new releases as soon as I get it. |
