Catalogue listing

Oxford Diecast Glade Green and Honey Gold Cresta Friary Estate – 1:76 scale model. Manufacturer part number 76CFE005. The model represents the British Railways Late Crest period.

The locomotive is presented in a non‑standard Glade Green livery with Honey Gold detailing, matching the original Cresta Estate based in London bearing the registration 43 EBP. It is a detailed 1:76 replica of the PA Cresta converted to an estate configuration by Friary of Basingstoke.

PA Crestas were notable for their American‑inspired appearance and over 80,000 units were built. The estate versions were subsequently altered by the Friary works at Basingstoke to provide a four‑door, higher‑capacity layout for suburban services.
