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 think 1363 would be a popular and pleasing loco on any layout that it graced.......

Are you going to give it a name?

Eric?

Eric?

 

Abdul.

[Oldddudders]

I have 1362 of the same ilk. Delightful.

I'm tempted by another one after seeing Rich's GWR version on Sunday.

And the ease of installing a decoder - just ease off the smokebox door - is brilliant, like Kernow's 0298. Contrast that with the installation I have just done on an HOm 0-6-0 tank, where I had to remove two screws, the cab, the coal load and sidetanks to get access.

Eric?

Eric’s already gone, the bloater got there first.

[Clearwater]

I thought Eric, who after all is half a bee, would be something like an E147.

Yes, 12 mm.

But, if Eric really is half a B, that would mean he is a 2-3-0!

Ideal for a shelf layout! -- Build it in low-relief!

She has a name and you need a very high security clearance to know it

Dockyard Doris ?

Hi All,

 

The real No. 1363 once carried the unofficial name ‘Viking’ chalked on it several times. Why we don’t know but there we are...

 

I wonder if it was because it could sing the spam, spam, spam song?

 

All the best,

 

Castle

Dockyard Doris ?

 

Too cold and salty

Getting warmer, but not with the Viking angle

Hi TBG,

 

The Viking thing isn’t funny but it is true!

Castle, I knew about the Viking name on the real one.

 

The loco's talk to me when I work on them (I'm not known as the Bulleid Whisperer for nothing you know  ), Rob's 1363 identifies as female, but has a very male name..

Are you qualified to work on locos with gender dysphoria?

[toboldlygo]

Are you qualified to work on locos with gender dysphoria?

 

Of course - I'm a skilled surgeon

 

I've had a Castle Class that identified as WW2 fighter, several British Monarch's that have identified as Princesses, but I won't mention what class Rob's 1363 identifies as..

Is it PC to suggest we call her Viqueen ?

Oliver would be more accurate... oops

In that case she must be called Bob

(Or maybe Bernard)
