Opening Oxford Mystery Boxes | Bargain Model Bundles!

Very interesting video Sam, but I'm rather worried that you can't tell a RED Fire & Rescue Engine from an Ambulance which is basically white with reflective stripes !

That Hilux is a gem. Sold out everywhere and quite rare been after one for a while and only 1 on eBay for £70! Makes that bundle seem really good value

Hi Sam, the Jeep is a Willy's MB, which later become known as the Jeep. Willy's is the name of one of the companies that developed it. Though American in origin, they were used all over Britain during World War II, and would be almost mandated for any layout dated from 1942-1945 (or even 1950), especially in port areas.

You are showing your young years Sam. I used to borrow my dad's Cortina and massive Princess as a student nurse. I have repainted some Oxford cars, added emergency lights to a police van and turned one into a crashed boy racer for a scene with fire effect lighting inside.

The BR crew bus was an odd shape as it carried tools and served as a mobile workshop/bothy for the crews. Interesting vehicles. I think most were one-off bodies built as required.

I really like that AEC. Old british trucks have that peculiar style of their own

i'd take the "Indestructible Hilux" in a heart beat, top gear was one of my favorite shows

Nice video Sam. Regarding the 'outdated' vehicles, there's nothing stopping car enthusiasts restoring their real vehicles to another time-period. Vehicle rallies are full of older vehicles. I have the old ice-cream van on my contemporary layout and you often see such vehicles selling ice-cream today.

The Walls ice cream van was based on a ford Anglia. You may have seen it as the flying car in the Harry Potter films. The scania Truck with the Rugby Player on the trailor was a dream to drive as was the D A F tractor unit. The A E C was a dog, and the Bedford not far behind. I obtained my H G V class 1 in 1977 and i have driven most of them. I had a Scania wagon and drag which i drove from Sweden to Portugal for years. I also did weddings driving the Princess limo. That H B van was based on a Vauxhall Viva, bloody freezing cold in winter even with the heater on, it had the heat of a cold water bottle. Ford Transit was a dream when that came out in about 1966, 80 flat out, and heater that roasted you. What a lovley nostalgic unboxing it was for me. I was a regular visitor to the Auto & Technik museum, Sinsheim,Germany. One weekend a year they held a model railway event. The layouts were massive in the exhibition halls. Many of the models were made to order.Radio controlled steam driven locos with 22 carriages as they were in the fourties. A guy from the Midlands delivered last years orders at the event an took orders to be delivered next year, all hand made. It is the largest museum in the world of its kind.The other half is in Speyer. Every gauge of model railway under the sun. Off the shelf products were sold there but the one off builds were someting else. The buyers put them under microscopes and counted every nut,bolt and rivit according to original engineering design. Maybe someone from a certain supplier should go to the next exhibition. Great watching, it gose so quick though,

Great video Sam brings back great memories of when i used to collect these years ago before Hot Wheels took over as my main interest. Nice variety of stuff as well the Lotus Elite and Austin Princess are real stunners

Hello Sam, another enjoyable video, the Eddie stobart stuff will be collectable as they've been taken over by the Cullina group after returning massive losses over the years for cutting haulage rates and putting decent transport firms out of business, keep up the Great work Sam.

This has kinda made me want to pick one up cause it would be cool to see what to get, I hope to see some of these on your current layout

Awesome tip Sam. Just ordered my mystery box. Fingers crossed 😁

Love the little short wheelbase Land Rover. You could use those almost anywhere-- a favourite of farmers all over.

Thanks Sam. It is fun to accompany you for an unboxing. Re-gifting comes to mind. Christmas and birthdays for friends who like O gauge.

That british leyland princess will out last any of the real ones

I do love a good mystery box! Myself I have purchased a few 1:72nd scale airfix mystery boxes,on those you can actualy save a lot of money !

I’ve just decided, I’m definitely getting one of those boxes that’s great value and sounds a fun idea. Thank you Sam for making me aware of this

Thanks from another continent for your continuous great content ! Nan & Steve's Trains
