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

6023 was running last weekend and we had a trip behind her to Kingswear. She is limited to selective days during the summer and I didn't see her again throughout the week as they used the Manor and LT pannier instead. We had her facing the right way with a Torbay Express headboard.

Hi Rob,

 

It looks like a blue Didcot King never offends too! Glad you had fun with Spud II - it’s nice to see her both out and about and being enjoyed by a wider audience.

 

All the best,

Reminds me of my youth, living alongside the Piccadilly line, though the panniers were never that shiny, and usually steamed past in the dark!

[gwrrob]

I also squeezed a quick visit in to the SDR which resembles Barry Scrapyard at the moment with locos everywhere out of service.

Nice fire iron rack.

Nice fire iron rack.

Sometimes it's these pictures that can provide more inspiration as to how an area operated and the type of clutter lying around which in turn answers many questions when you come to model them.

I did notice the rack and the amount of rust visible on the fire irons, also the oil drums for colour ideas and especially the ground finish.....

In fact, I was studying all the workshop pictures for ideas and missing the main reason for the picture?

Anymore?

Just those shewing detail around the shed but I do have these of 6412 in action.

SWMBO & I were miffed with the railway all the coaches they use on the evening dinning train are out of service this season

looking at the mess there it was no better when I looked round the back of the sheds last year I hope they can get their house 

in order we have missed the trip down there this year.

Looking back a few pages and 4582 on that cattle wagon train last week turned out to be one of the most popular shots of the year so far , so here it is again with a sepia tang to it.

How ridiculous. First of all someone has built the signal box to 3 mm scale and then plonked the footbridge right over the top of it. You'd never see that in real life.

They did that at North Ormesby just outside Middlesbrough, but it was to 4mm scale and they modified the kit.

Then they took the footbridge away and built a big cardboard road bridge behind it.

That is how I remember it when I first moved the the North East. It was in its' last days being replaced by the A66 extension behind.By this time only one, bi-directional line was in use.

Like the piccies of the LMS pannier, Rob.

 

Also, nice touch dressing to match the blue of the King. Splendid stuff.

Just realized LT94 aka GWR 7752, it was a locomotive I drove at Tyseley many years ago nice to see it being used for what it was made for.

An overcast day in the South Hams sees some fresh shots of small prairie 4582 on a short cattle van train. These vans were weathered by Glenn but I've added some of my own frame dirt [719] using Lifecolor acrylic.

Meanwhile, we see Star class 4012 Knight of the Thistle on a down express complete with a posh restaurant coach.
