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

Not very far from Brent, the South Devon Railway have been celebrating 50 years since the line was reopened as a preserved railway. I popped down yesterday, to witness some of my most favourite, cute panniers in operation, plus one or two other scenes. Both 6412 and 6430 were in steam:

I am heartened to see bright white roofs (it can't be the bright light?) and a nicely turned out Pannier; those of which you can never get enough of!  Now if GWR was on the panniers instead of a BR logo.....................................

Toilet floors are forgotten.:wink_mini:

I ask because my friend wants to know if it is worth coming down to have a look at them?

 

They are both most commodious machines and very welcoming in their general manner to people they haven't been introduced to.

They are commodes? Grief, I've heard of turf burners but not turd burners.

Both locomotives were polite and well-mannered when I spoke to them yesterday. They both mentioned a liking for ducks and other fowl.

 

Well trained (see what I did there?) engines; really useful and quite inoffensive when you get to know them I am told. I have two of they bu##ers; BOGOFF offer from Lidl. Not renumbered yet but one is sullied with a two wire fitting and can move on SOSJ, both forwards and backwards, but not at the same time.

Today I even made some more colourful things for them to look at and I cleared up afterwards, using a cylinder vacuum cleaner with new hose but old, small brush (not a 47) fitting. Such fun.

The Chief Inspector is called to the scene.  Whilst the crowd is well mannered, it is now getting very large and there is an element of hysteria brewing,

 

so he decides to call in the Mounted unit.

 

The crowd grows as does the noise:

By now, politicians old and current are wheeled out in front of the Cameras:

 

Tony B Liar:   "Tough on Moguls, and Tough on the causes of Moguls"

M Thatcher  "This Mogul Is Not for Turning"

Julius Ceasar "Veni Vidi Mogul"

D Trump  "Fake Moguls........"

 

There is only one thing that will quieten the braying international gatherings across the Globe:

 

Show us yer grubby Mogul Robin.

 

A slow day in the desert then?

At the risk of incurring everyones wrath, I for one think the new release can't come soon enough to make that model redundant !

 

Hat, coat and standing firm.
