Robert,

The easiest way, (or at least a way), to grab assets from OSGrid is to 
connect a region to OSGrid, rez the assets on your region, then save-oar 
of your region. This will give you an OAR file of those assets that you 
can then upload to your stand-alone or any other region that you have 
access to the console.

Peace,
Sean
