Tim Hale Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Just to confirm that SEF Wills has released the exLSWR Southern B4 in 4mm. The model is based on the old McGowan kit but updated and complete with a new etched chassis (wheels/drive extra) As an owner of a McGowan/Falcon hybrid, it will be a fine body on an even better chassis, thank goodness Dave Ellis has taken heed of many wishlists. They were a widespread prototype from the far west to Dover Harbour, a really good choice of model. Cost around £79 I have no connection with Dave unless 'as a very satisfied customer' counts?

Horsetan Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Website couldn't see a photo up there yet. It only gets a paper entry on the price list for the full kit F208, and for the chassis kit FC208. No doubt spare parts sheets are available for those who might want to improve existing models of B4s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebell Model Railway Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 They are very nice kits, and good to see them filling a gap in the kit market, as the McGowan kit is quite old and also go for alot of money,I saw the kit at Warley last year, asked about it and so brought one a few months later. So to join the B4 Lovin, mine is different to yours DesA, as its based on the Bluebell's Normandy so has the open cab type also supplied with the kit.

Blue Max Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I believe SEF were working on a kit for the LMS High Pressure loco Fury a while back, but I have not heard if there has been any informationon the progress of late. Does anyone have any update on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
