Oxford Diecast manufacture 76SHP001 in 1/76 scale which represents a Leyland Sherpa Van in Royal Mail Wales [Post Breinhol] Colours. This is a fully OO Gauge compatible model aimed at the OO Gauge Model Railway and Adult / Discerning Collector Markets. The Leyland [Later British Leyland or BL] Sherpa was an all-time Sales success story for the company. Widely used throughout the world the Sherpa was extensively used by Royal Mail in the UK. This one carries the additional 'Post Breinhol' Inscriptions representing it's use in Wales somewhere as was true to real life. Oxford Diecast have released an English Counterpart apparently which was based with them in Reading! To place this on a OO Gauge layout in historical context one needs a 1980s-set Layout preferably set in Wales or Welsh Borders. Or alternatively set up a layout sooner than that with a Motor Show featuring Preserved Services Vehicles on it. This is a real 'BEAUT' to add to a line up of Postal vehicles if these are your forte. The detailing and intricacy is wonderful showing why Oxford Diecast have become field experts and market leaders in this scale. It's a 10 / 10 FULL HOUSE and MARKS for this wonder :o)Read full review

Could be used with any layout from 1970s up to 1990. Or maybe suit a van collector because although a very popular vehicle in the real world not a great deal of choice trying to find a sherpa in the model world. The model itself is of a high standard and looks correct, has the proper "stance", sometimes in this small scale some models just miss the mark. Or become toy like. Oxford also make the minibus version of this vehicle.
