Corgi London 2012 die-cast and keyring

From the cab windows and headlights, I'd say it's supposed to be a 1995/1996 stock.

Here's a picture showing the rear "cab"...without headlights/destination blind etc. Is this a good likeness of this end of the car? I can't find any pictures of the non-driving ends of the real thing.

Ah yes; the car end windows also have a corner cut-out only present on the driving cabs. Still, they're quite attractive little models, and the only piece of London 2012 merchandise that has even begun to tempt me!

for the price it looks ok,also its official merchandise.

Yes its from China and made out of recycled A stock

The A stock was scrapped and recycled just to make these little beauties. Every A stock lover must buy not just one, but several. A special prize shall be given to the person finding "5100" painted on the inside of his momento, and tribute to Chinese train building

If you don't buy now, you'll end up paying more on e~bay

All profits will go to the Boris care home for the bewildered, overlooking the "Bendy-bus museum", Monte Carlo

Bit too late, but just remembered this thread, the tube trains were three for £10 at the Megastore in the Olympic Park!

Despite those thing looking a little like toys to me, I just ordered the two models (the keyring and the bigger one). Well, I've to admit I paid more for shipping than for the models. Too bad ;D

The only things I've seen are vinyls of cartoon Olympic competitors on the doors of some Central Line stock (changing the colours, and making them disability non-compliant?).

Thanks for those replies. I suppose the central line trains were the "Get ahead of the games" ones ?

Call them what you want, but the kids seem to love Mandeville and Wenlock.

p.s. I've not been able to look at the 2012 logo in the same way since someone described it as "Lisa Simpson giving someone oral pleasures"...

And then someone goes and shows you this: www.creads.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Bart-and-lisa.jpg

I remember that one from about a year ago, something that isn't forgotten although we'll be seeing a lot less of it now ;D.
