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

Cor, my first ever post on RMWeb.

Nearly ten years ago and I'm still no further forward on my plans for that fish train.....

It's the same plan Brian.

[St Enodoc]

As might be surmised, the 6 wheel van did not enter service until after nationalisation. John Lewis did a couple of articles on GWR Fish Vans in GWRJ no 6 and 7, plenty of photos and drawings of some of the 4 wheel ones.

Thanks Stephen. Post-nationalisation is fine for me. I haven't got those GWRJs. Is there much on the Insixfish or just the earlier ones?

No photos or plans of the insix just a bit of prototype info. this index has some info

He's not one to blow his own euphonium but here are a couple of Glenn's latest commissions, not for me before you ask. I particularly like the Grange and it's a livery you never usually see either. Be brave Hornby !

For those with 4073 class predilections. York, on a very, very cold Saturday 16th December.

 

 

I have images of an LMS 6100 class and an LNER A4 class but I would assume that nobody here would be interested in those?

Classic. I assume York City Hosptal A & E was overwhelmed a little after this, due to the massive number of people that fainted when they saw this magnifico beasty appear for the second time in 8 days?

I should think the A4 will be moving south and east to Cambridge tomorrow or Tuesday and the Scot is due to go south from York next Wednesday late afternoon.

Is it too early to get my Christmas baubles out chaps.

No! All this talk of refrigerated vans has brought on Christmas early!

Never!

How and when a chap gets his baubles out should remain a decision for him and his consenting partner.

I found a couple of reasonable side views in Volume 3 of 'BR Parcels and Passenger-Rated Stock' by David Larkin; one at Clynderwyn (branded 'Return to Fishguard', the second at Millerhill, branded ('Return to Aberdeen')

[Captain Kernow]

Eh oop chaps.

[Tim Dubya]

Bonjour Capitan

[Captain Kernow]

Oui. Les saussisons de poulet son veritablement horrible.

Oui. Les saussisons de poulet son veritablement horrible.

Mais le pâté de foie de poulet est très agréable, surtout en Avril. Qui?

 

 

C'est bon.

 

 

Rob.

[Tim Dubya]

I look forward to sausages improving and some nice pate in April too. I think?

That's nothing. I'm amphibious - I can't use either hand.

Thanks Brian. The one at Millerhill is almost certainly the same photo that I posted a link to earlier. I will have to look out for the one at Fishguard. Is there a date for that?

14th September 1962. I wonder what traffic it was being used for, as Fishguard hardly had any fishing boats; it did have a lot of fresh produce arriving by ferry, however.
