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

Lovely shots of 7804 Robin....

 

Moaning glory.

The 'train in landscape' effect of the first two shots in that last sequence (25137) in particular is choice. Excellent stuff Rob.

 

Best wishes,

Very nice Manor,

 

Seems a much better day in Brent than I am having here, after 2 hours spent getting the new laptop to work with our printer (so I could print some templot plans out for some track repairs), I go outside to build the other half of the double slip.  Only to find that I have somehow ordered the N gauge kit from Gaugemaster via Amazon rather than the 4mm scale one....

Inspiring me to go work on my layout.

4870 is seen shunting some milk tanks , it could almost be Hemyock. These are Hornby with added detail.

Now your just spoiling us! Backscene looks very effective, nice work.

Robin, 4870 doesn't really look like a Hemyock.

This is a Hemyock

I can't see what the fuss is about the 0-4-2Ts. Give me a nice Pannier Tank any day of the week.

 

Like seeing the photos with the beach by the way, although at this time of year shouldn't there be a few bathers about?

There are no bather's on the beach because they gone to see 4870 go past!!!!!!!

Went back when the Pannier past????

 

Then I'm biased towards this little 0-4-2T so the pure sight of it is music to my ears.........

 

Keep up the good work with the pictures.

It's also more an estuary, a bit like Cockwood  Harbour and it needs a revamp of the 'water' effects. I'm looking at the new Woodland Scenics deep pour murky water at the moment as a possibility.

That looks interesting, how thin can you go with it as I am seriously looking to revamp my brook as well.

[Mallard60022]

I think that harbour is a little riske and the Finchings probably enjoy a giggle about it.

.D.I Rtymind.

Thank you for the Manor extravaganza - its much appreciated!

 

It's hard to believe the body moulding was created forty years ago : with it's new chimney it still impresses!

 

After DeanGoodsGate I expect the manufacturers would be nervous about offering a new version of it!
