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

Lift those finger prints - they might come in handy  

Yep they are original Chinese factory production engineer’s finger prints currently preserved on the inside of the glazing…

Some things we won't talk about though...

I was slightly shocked at the PM you sent me about repainting all your GWR Rolling Stock in Post War Southern Green

I got permission from the civil engineer to run a couple of specials... on behalf of a pricey chocolate producer...

Obviously Graham didn't apply enough heat to the Air Smoother

It's a beautiful, well detailed model, a real credit to Kernow.

 

 

An exclusive for ANTB as I took a photo to shew the underframe detail on the rail motor. The use of etched components adds to the quality on show. The bogies are correctly different on the two diagrams.

Damn the King would of looked so nice lined out in yellow - better get the thinners out to remove the Malachite Green and the Airforce Blue from the Name & Number plates

A final photo for today.

Hello everyone

 

To assist with some future Rolling Stock Mini-Polls here - if there is support for them to run - it would be helpful to have an idea of your modelling time periods.

 

There are five outline time periods below; please select as many as apply to you and vote in the usual way (simply: 2, 3 etc).

 

If, for example, you model 1920 to 1935, simply vote 2 as being the closest approximation.

 

1 1900-1922

2 1923-1938

3 1939-1945

4 1946-1955

5 1956 to early 1960s

 

You have until 1700 on Saturday 8 August. You can vote by PM direct to me if you wish.

 

Brian (with Rob's kind approval)

4 and 5 but only the second part of 4 and the first part of 5 (i.e. the 1950s).

Can I change the subject to post this photo after a very enjoyable afternoon spent with @Graham_Muz

 

 

Aha, celebrity endorsement comes to RMweb!  

 

It looks great on ANTB, Rob, a very attractive model.

 

I'm hoping - perhaps naively - that it's not too late to tweak those panels between the windows. That's the last thing needed for Kernow to corner the lucrative Danish market (that would be me). 

 

 

 

 

[FarrMan]

Period 2 for me, specifically 1929.

 

Lloyd

[7802]

Period 5 for me, specifically 1959.

[petrox]

Early period 5 (1957).

[Siberian Snooper]

Period 2 for me please, especially the 1st 5 years.

I would be very interested in the last 4 or 5 mini polls.  I missed out on last weeks poll as I was busy with work.  Not a lack of interest but pressures of life!.

 

As for time periods I can operate 2, 3, 4 & 5  but mainly 1936 -1956.  To be honest my plan is to allow anything up to the end of Steam with a GWR/BR pedigree.

 

in an ideal world apart from the various goods wagons I would love a decent Collett restaurant car and although it won’t happen a decent modern set of Centenary stock or a Super Saloon.

[Darwinian]

Period 2 for me, specifically 1929.

Ooh an echo too.

Indeed and Graham brought both samples, O and R diagrams, to run. To my untrained eye they look the same and the following photos this afternoon may be a mix of both. The bogies, fishbelly etc? will be available as a spare I'm told. As Graham follows this thread he will be aware of anything that needs tweaking. The lighting works on plain DC too. More anon.
