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

There is another, but it's embargoed...

 

Also note that Cambrian Kits 10T Loco Coal wagon isn't finished yet...

And in a separate development in Brent, the flushing unit has now been replaced in the upstairs lavatory in Kernow Towers and reliability to that aspect of the domestic environment has been restored.

 

It's often the little things in life that give most satisfaction.

A shortage of passenger stock for my late 50s period allowed me to treat myself to a crimson suburban to go with my B & C brake third. Here is the former after being in TRW for some subtle weathering.

 

 

Pannier 9678 takes them on an up service.

 

[Limpley Stoker]

That shade of crimson looks more like I (and photographs ) remember - better than the LSWR rebuilds. I often buy coaches because of the way they look in Brent!

I had a customer called Theresa Green......her dog was called Hugo. Nice lady and nice dog.

[Mallard60022]

Did you used to say Hugo that way and I'll walk home on my own?

The Glasgow and South Western had a CME called Hugh Smellie. He must have had a broken ball cock, but apparently never seemed flushed

How many times did they catch the girl on the Tannoy with that one?

[Clive Mortimore]

OK all you Brenters, if any of you who I haven't physically knowingly met please come and say "Watch yer mate" to me at Ally Pally this weekend as I am there with Pig Lane (Western Region), stand number 76. I look forward to putting faces with names. Ta.

The barmaid at my local was caught out by that one, by one of the regulars with a mobile phone. The whole pub collapsed laughing.
