Manufacturer description

The Land Rover defender comes with Road Rail equipment. In real life these cars access the track via a crossing or purpose built ramp. The hydraulics position the rail style wheels into position, leaving the rubber tyres touching the track. At which point the driver operates the car as normal with the rail wheels acting as a guide to the vehicle.

This die-cast Land Rover Defender features pose-able rail wheels - they can be set up (for road use) or down (for rail use).

The model comes complete with a set of rail ramps which are used to gain access to the track.

Catalogue listing

Oxford Network Rail Road Rail Defender is a die‑cast replica of a Land Rover Defender equipped with specialised rail equipment. The model is identified by the manufacturer part number OR76ROR002 and represents the era of railway rebuilding.

The vehicle features pose‑able rail wheels that can be positioned for normal road use or set down for rail operation. Hydraulic mechanisms are represented by the ability to move the rail‑style wheels into place while the rubber tyres remain in contact with the track, allowing the driver to operate the car as usual with the rail wheels acting as a guide.

Included with the model are a pair of rail ramps designed to enable the vehicle to access the track via a crossing or a purpose‑built ramp, completing the set for display or play.
