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

But she's still a grubby, weathered green sort of colour.

Sounds like you inhaled the stuff and had a bad trip... 

 

(Ik gebruik ook wel eens Heki. Soms in het weekend. Maar ik heb dan niet de neiging om Duits te gaan praten.)

Niet erg goed voor het maken van Devonshire cordylines wel...

No good at all

(But why anybody would want to model cordylines is beyond me..  )

Just so long as they don't paint it black!

I had done my best to erase that monstrosity (and it’s even worse 4575 compatriot) from my mind!

Revisiting the engine shed area with a thought of replacing the old Ratio one with a Townstreet version, they're at Warley this year for the first time in years and this will give me the chance to have a proper butchers. Meanwhile , I've added another tree using Heki foliage, highlighted with WS fine scatters [burnt green and grass green]. I've placed it here because I like the idea of taking photos through the trees.

Is that a full grown cordyline? Ugly b*st*rd.

Something Teutonic about it as well, not good, not good at all..

Have you considered the brick shed (Tetbury) in the timber tracks range as a potential candidate for the new shed?

Very much in the running but also the dearest candidate. Any thoughts ?

Beautiful model Rob, how much?

Beautiful model Rob, how much?

130 sheets.

Ready made Rob ?.

Ouch!

 

BUT a beautiful model and an investment

No, just the lazer cut kit. The former C & L owner Brian Lewis does them and he plans to retire next year.

Have you already dismissed the Wills CK14 engine shed kit?  You need more than one kit but you could have eight or nine for the same price.

I'm trying to move away from the Ratio/ Wills stable to be honest.

[The Fatadder]

Expensive, but very nice looking and pure great western.

 

Is the goods shed also in line for an upgrade?

[checkrail]

Station buildings on Stoke C are from Timber Tracks.  Beautiful kits, and satisfyingly complex to put together.  Well worth the dosh. (Though the final paint job on the brickwork will make or break them.)

Deffo one of the better examples on the market in my opinion Rob, but as you quite rightly point out Brian is planning his retirement which is worth pointing out to anyone wishing to purchase his laser cut kits.
