Oxford Diecast Morris 1000 Van British Railways

Oxford Diecast

£8.45

The ubiquitous Morris 1000 van was used in a variety of roles during its long lifetime and this new livery evokes nostalgic memories of British Railways in its heyday. Registered JYU 479K from 1971, our little van is decorated in the crimson colour scheme of BR and features the wonderful Lion and Wheel emblem on the sides. The emblem was designed by Abram Game and was usually seen on steam locomotives and latterly diesels during the period between 1949 and 1964. Steeped in BR history, place this lineside vehicle on your period railway layout to add a further authentic touch. Dimensions and Wei

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as OXFORD DIECAST LIMITED, number 02869520. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
