Scania R (Rear Tag) Moving Floor Trailer Eddie Stobart Biomass, Carlisle CC13756
In the 1970s Eddie Stobart built its high profile brand on the courtesy of its drivers, the quality of its fleet and exceptional service. These benchmark standards remain intact, but Stobart also understands the customer service, employment practices and environmental challenges that face modern businesses today. Over the last few years the Group has evolved beyond its position as an independent road transport and logistics business to a leading UK provider of multinational transport and logistics solutions. Spring 2010 saw Stobart Group Plc break new ground by taking a controlling interest in a new joint venture with A.W. Jenkinson Forest Products, the UK’s leading supplier of Biomass Fuels. The combination of the two companies brought the creation of Stobart Biomass Products Limited, which specialises in sourcing sustainable biomass, primarily waste wood, for the new generation of minimum-carbon power plants. Eddie Stobart now operates over 60 Moving Floor Trailers of which the Scania R Series with TAG axle is ideally suited.

ATLAS EDITIONS SCANIA IRIZAR COACH - NEW CASTING
I have received information from a very reliable source that the Atlas Editions Scania Coach model 4649114 in the Atlas Editions list (See News dated 9th August) will be the first model in a new 1:76th casting from Oxford Diecast of the Tri-axle Scania Irizar (further coach liveries will follow in the Oxford Diecast Omnibus range). I also understand that Oxford Diecast will also be producing a 1:76th casting of the Scania T-Cab with the first livery also being Stobart (not sure yet if this first model will be in the Atlas range or whether it will be a standard Oxford release). I have nothing official from Oxford Diecast yet but will post information as soon as I receive it.

For those not familiar with the Stobart Tri-axle coach "Laura Abby" I hope to publish photographs within the next few days.

BACK FROM HOLIDAYS
I have now returned from my summer holiday and so will catch up on news today/tomorrow

CONFIRMED RELEASE FROM ATLAS EDITIONS
I can confirm that the following model has now been released, mine arrived whilst I was away:
4649107 Atkinson 3 Axle Dropside

MODELS ON SALE AT STOBART SHOP CARLISLE DEPOT
Whilst on holiday I visited Stobart's depot at Carlisle for a bit of spotting and a browse around the shop. I noticed two models previously released in the Atlas series but now on sale in Oxford Diecast packaging although they have retained the plastic base as per the Atlas release. I have shown the Oxford stock code below. The photograph shown against each is the Atlas issued model. I will add both to the Oxford listing in due course.

In addition to the above, on returning home from holiday the latest edition of the Stobart Club magazine "Spot On" was waiting for me and on the rear page shows four previously released Atlas models for sale. In addition to the above they also show:

Atkinson Borderer with Flatbed Trailer (Atlas code 4649103 Oxford Code not known) CLICK HERE to view

The models are priced as follows:

One further item of news from "Spot On"
Also shown on sale on the rear cover is a Volvo FH Curtainside in Eddie Stobart Oxford packaging priced at £20.99 £19.99 to members. I spoke with the Stobart Shop a few minutes ago who advised the model carries the Oxford Diecast stock code SP056. I understood this was to be a ModelZone exclusive but some have obviously been released to Stobart's. I ordered my model from ModelZone sometime ago but it has not yet arrived, I will have to chase them to find out where it is.

More news catch up to follow......
