1:76 Scale Model Cars, Vehicles and Trains
Immerse yourself in the fascinating realm of 1:76 scale models, also known as the 00 scale. This scale, favoured for its detailed precision, is 76 times smaller than its real-life counterparts. While it originated in the UK and was primarily used for model railway layouts, it has since gained global popularity and found its application in creating diecast vehicles.
Discover the Intricate World of 1:76 Scale Model Cars, Vehicles, and Trains
Oxford Diecast is proudly pioneering in developing this scale for diecast models. We were the first to recognize the immense potential of the 1:76 scale, dedicating ourselves to producing high-quality, detailed models that faithfully mirror their life-sized inspirations.
Our journey in the world of 1:76 scale models began in 2007. Since then, we've embarked on one of the most intensive product release programs ever seen in the industry, consistently unveiling new and exciting models each month. Our commitment to the 1:76 scale led us to launch Oxford Rail in 2015, further enriching our portfolio with Locomotives, Coaches, and Rail Wagons.
Our founder, Taff, carries a rich heritage of working at Mettoy, the Swansea factory known for manufacturing the iconic Corgi models in the 1970s. This legacy manifests in our commitment to quality, detail, and authenticity, making us the world's largest manufacturer of 1:76 scale models.

Dive into the detailed universe of 1:76 scale models with Oxford Diecast today.
Understanding 1:76 Scale Models
When we talk about 1:76 scale models, we're referring to miniature replicas that are 76 times smaller than their real-world counterparts. This scale, also known as the 00 scale, is a popular choice in model railway layouts and diecast vehicles due to its precise level of detail and convenient size.
The 1:76 scale originated in the UK and has been widely adopted by hobbyists and manufacturers worldwide. Each model is a meticulous, downsized version of a vehicle or train, where 1 unit of measurement on the model equates to 76 of the same units on the full-sized version. For example, if an actual train car is 76 feet long, a 1:76 scale model of that train car would be 1 foot long.
This particular scale provides a perfect balance between size and detail. It's large enough to include intricate design features and accurate representations yet small enough to be conveniently displayed or used in model railway layouts.
1:76 scale models open a window into a miniature world of transportation, reflecting the grandeur and charm of various vehicles and trains. They are the products of skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail, allowing collectors and hobbyists to explore, appreciate, and own a piece of this captivating world. At Oxford Diecast, our range of 1:76 scale models captures the essence of many iconic vehicles and trains, from historical classics to modern marvels, providing something for every enthusiast to cherish.

Collecting models can lead to a profound appreciation for history. Many scale models accurately represent vehicles that have played significant roles throughout eras. They can serve as tangible reminders of the past, allowing collectors to learn about and connect with different automotive and railway history periods.

Frequently Asked Questions about Model Collecting
The "best" scale often depends on personal preferences and the purpose of your collection. However, the 1:76 scale (also known as the 00 scale) is particularly popular because it balances size and detail, making it ideal for display and use in model railway layouts.
How do I care for my model cars and trains?Proper care for your model vehicles ensures their longevity. Please keep them in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Dust them regularly with a soft brush or cloth. For more intricate cleaning, use a cotton swab. Always handle your models with clean hands to prevent tarnishing the paint.
How do I start a model vehicle collection?Starting a model collection can be as simple as purchasing your first model. Please choose a model that appeals to you due to its design, historical significance, or personal nostalgia. Over time, you might decide to specialise in a specific type of vehicle, era, or scale, or you might enjoy collecting a variety.
Can model cars and trains be considered an investment?While many people collect models for personal enjoyment, they can also be seen as investments. Limited edition models, rare finds, and vintage pieces can appreciate value over time. However, predicting which models will increase in value can be challenging, so focusing primarily on the joy of collecting is best.
