A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

 I'm sorry for the lack of off topic content on the thread.

 

Is that irony or do thread followers need to redouble their efforts to produce more off topic content?

Didn't Graham Hubbard say Bachmann would never make the Blue Pullman.

I believe he did but dear old Bachmann don't know their a' from their elbow at the moment hence the vacancy so any new coaches from them would be a long way off.

Look, I've got a bucket full of Phoenix/BSL Ironclads and Branchlines detailing kits.

If I start to build them, then they will be announced as a new RTR item.

I haven't because you GWR guys need something to pull behind your trains in the wrong colour.

Has anyone on here ordered kits from Powsides recently, just wondering if their service is still efficient .Their website looks promising.

[St Enodoc]

I should have suggested that, a decent E140/E145 B set would be fantastic news!

I'd like to see an E147.

[Castle]

No, no.

That makes you sound like that guy from The Vicar of Dibley...

 

I’ll get my coat.

 

All the best,

Recently made half a dozen or so, but I obtained them some months ago.  I noted on their website the other day that at least one wagon I had as a complete kit with pre-lettered sides was seemingly now only available as a transfer.

 

I did wait a while for my delivery (they do them to order), but it was worth it - and if you order more than one of the same they automatically give you different numbers.  Nice.

Seems choosing coaches is B set with difficulties.

I think there was an issue with wagon kits from Parkside which should have been resolved by now I've had a few items in the new peco branded packets recently,

  John is there any chance of some photo's when they have been completed ?.

A lovely choice as they also ran as single coaches on occasions. Of course regulars on here will be familiar with my Comet version.

'appy  to oblige.

I would have thought this would have been more appropriate if the garage needed defrosting first but you couldn't wait......

Well, in fact, he does seem frozen to the spot even in the summer....!

but the problem is easily solved!

Almost 6 years since I met you all at Tonbridge.

 

Almost 10 years since you were driving the layout down the A28 to Châtellerault, while I was driving the other way up the same road to Rouen to sit at an unconscious Deb's bedside in A&E!

Those are the days of our lives

The bad things in life were so few

Those days are all gone now but one thing is true

When I look and I find I still love you

How time flies. Can't believe we started building it in 2003. No1 son is almost 15 now, the layout is just a smidge older.

 

So, when did you get the significant hair cut?
