Bluebell Boy

great choice, great news and no doubt will be a great model.

Any updates on delivery schedule for the much anticipated B4? - Also, has anyone seen any pre-production shots of the final 3 liveries (SR 88, LSWR 91 and BR 30089).  Searched around the web but not found any updates in the usual go to places. Hopefully they are not too far away now..

Newly announced Minerva N32 Coal wagon on their news feed.

Range of liveries inc. PO and suggestion of N24 and N27 versions to follow..

In O gauge...

NCB liveried wagons

London Transport 20T brake van

Maunsell composite and brake coaches

3 decorated pre-production B4s were on display at Kettering today and looked superb

Great choice - the number of possible liveries could keep Dapol busy producing these for years...

How about an upscaling of their 1363 / 1366 tanks to O gauge to compensate for the Collet Goods being put on hold?

Before I moved from 00 into O Gauge I'm sure I remember Kernow considering producing an O gauge Beattie Well Tank and China Clay wagons. Possibly there was not enough interest back then to progress them but maybe now is the time to re-consider with popularity increasing in O?

I've finally scored a correct guess with the B4 - and a loco I can certainly find a home for. Excellent.

Love to see the B4 upscaled to O given its size and number of liveries. Possibly an M7 in parallel with the re-tooling of the N gauge version but most likely a wagon from more recent years..

Odds on for a newly tooled Manor not only beating Dapol but also the newly announced Accurascale version to the shops - have Accurascale (strategically?) picked to announce theirs 2 days before the Bachmann announcement....

I'm ever hopeful they will release the B4 tank in O gauge  - surely it would be popular given its small size and range of liveries available as seen on the wonderful 4mm version.

Hornby seem to rotate round the big 4 so possibly the turn of the GWR in 2021 with an all new Castle to coincide with the return to steam of Pendennis at Didcot - although I won't be surprised to see another Manor announced in a red (or blue) box

There is rumour that somebody was seen measuring up the NLR Dock Tank and SECR Dance Hall brake at the Bluebell early last year but might not have been Hornby (or not true)….

Wording in the pre-announcement seems to suggest it's also at Locomotion so possibly the GNR Atlantic no. 251(if its still there)

The cynic within me thinks it's something Hornby are to announce in January and Rail's have got wind and announcing theirs early...
