Oxford Diecast Glade Green/Alpine Green Vauxhall Cresta – 1:76 scale model. The piece carries the manufacturer part number 76CRE006 and represents the British Railways late‑crest period.
The model is rendered in a two‑tone green livery, with the body in Glade Green and the roof trim in Alpine Green. It follows the 1:76 scale commonly used for OO gauge railway accessories.
The original PA Crestas, which this die‑cast replica is based on, were noted for their American‑inspired styling and over 80,000 units were produced during their production run.
