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’ve been after GWR shed allocation transfers for a while - CPL used to do them but Paul Bambrick didn’t have any in stock when I last spoke to him.

 

If Railtec produced some I’d be very interested.

Is this the sheet you're referring to ?

Any chance you could re-do the last two pictures as the camera has focused on the nice coaches behind leaving the loco out of focus so I can make out the detail.

 

Thanks

 

A slightly better shot shews the loco shed transfer to be Reading [RDG] and another shot shewing the fall plate I use from Precision Paints fitted. It's under the JE detailing parts on their website, JEW74. To fit the Hall I needed to trim the sides by a mm either side and a mm on the length.

A lick of red paint and some Routemaster bus transfers that will sort it out. :locomotive: :locomotive: :locomotive:

Clear evidence as to why Marzipan never caught on as a suitable material for OO gauge locos.

Nice loco.However......time to dumb down Dumbleton .Over to James for the authentic post war grime maybe ? Does look a top dollar paint finish so a choice between beauty and authenticity.No lining too and that’s a good thing considering Bachmann’s lining on BR Halls doesn’t cut the mustard.

 

Excellent choice of a Reading loco with its X category..Logical because many a loco heading westbound or on a South Wales express came to grief on the way out of Paddington and had to be removed and replaced at Reading....hence the substitute had necessarily to be a good ‘un.

 

Have fun with her Robin.

It has been said that I have the constitution of a seagull but I draw the line at Marzipan which is the food of the Devil.
