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

Go on then

[The Stationmaster]

Is it too early to run a Santa Special .

 

Lots of  deserved preserved railways seem to be starting this weekend and some are fully booked right through to Christmas so clearly demand exists - you need to get on with it

With Thomas?

Erm, are you... are you sure Model Rail haven't just used Colour Rail archive images instead? Pure laziness from the journalistic fraternity these days.

You won't see one of these on any preserved lines for a while.

Yes!

 

 

 

Oh, you've already done it.

[Tim Dubya]

Yes!

 

 

 

Oh, you've already done it.

 

Not really that's just a train (a very nice train I might add).

 

But surely Thomas (driven by Ringo) would be a more appropriate form of traction?

 

I know he's a southerner but it is(n't) Christmas

[colin penfold]

I thought Ringo was a scouser

The Railroad County isn't that bad with some detailing and weathering to it.

[gwrrob]

A bit of a liberty taken here with my choice of rolling stock but preserved railways do it too.

 

 

 

 

[coachmann]

Run a Real Ale Special and test your night-time photographic skills. Departure time 18.30hrs. Book yer tickets, get pissed up and get booked driving home. Lorralorrafun.

Thomas not Dingo, apologies for the confusion.

[Mallard60022]

I thgought Horace Whimp was Mr Bluesky?

Arsh

Thanks for all the likes, 5077 was popular. Here's another Castle, 5011 Tintagel Castle at an angle I can't get without shewing all the background junk that Chris has photo shopped out nicely here.

Just needs a G crest W on the back, and a splash of black paint over the foot plate

 

lovely photo, a good match for some of the prototype photos I have seen taken from the vicarage road bridge.

I agree but it needed doing before it was weathered !

What's the small brown van in the background?

A David Geen fruit van.

Thanks. Cracking picture too!

 

I'd not heard of him, some more kits to build!

You need to get your finger out as he's retiring after ExpoEM South next May.

[Mallard60022]

Heads up here for you GWR fellows. Have a look at the Wright Writes thread later this evening/tomorrow for some photo's of things he is going to sell on behalf of a widow/for charity. Actual scratch built buildings from Buckfastleigh (Geoff Kent I believe) and some other items of interest. I have suggested to Tony Wright that 'we' could spread the word about this collection as it is just so good and the cause will be worthy (as it was for the late Geoff Brewin's coaches). You guys and gals know other GWR modellers so maybe you could help the broadcast?

Many thanks,

Duck with fewmonia.

Need to get those USA Bogies sorted ASAP then. Good for Siphons I am told.

Isn't it just and so is the engine shed. Shall I get my begging bowl out.

Why not. I wouldn't mind donating a few quid if that means the engine shed  will appear in future episodes of ANTB. Highly enjoyably show so far....
