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

If I do weather Evening Star, it will be very subtle

 

In the meantime, I've been busy in the Hangar...

 

.. the DH Sea Hornet (NF.21) with only a few decals left to go

 

You’re doing doing a great job, but really, only it’s mother could love it.

She needs attention in the works, looks like she's thrown a piston rod

Another day, another engine, this time Laira based Hall class 5998 Trevor Hall returning home with a Good Friday stopper.

 

[Oldddudders]

"It's Good Friday!"

 

"It's good every day!"

[gwrrob]

 

It's black Friday.

I thought it was Goods Friday Rob? Hunky Tank time or Offensive Pannier struggling with one wagon and a Brake. Talking of which 6430 at the WSR appeared to be rescuing the Highmuck this afternoon?

Duck.

Rather a pleasant afternoon in the South Devon sunshine today...

First Class return on an Autocoach working too .....

Poor old Dumbleton; rusting away outdoors for too many years now and soon it will be too far gone.  Its amazing that its not in any worse shape considering the lack of interest shown to this seemingly complete locomotive.

Just to compliment the (unfinished) station I thought I would have a go at a Ground Frame Building to compliment it.

 

Its a nice 7mm laser-cut model from Rail Model, who are based in Plymouth, done as a quick weekend project.

 

 

 

Its actually based on one which was at Callington and I have replaced the wriggly tin roof ( in the kit ) with a slate one.

It looked pretty sad when I saw it in the rain 2 years ago.

Did someone ask for a modern specification Manor?

 

 

Nearly finished (at last),  I think I have a new favourite model.

 

now I really should be focusing on getting the other layout ready for Sunday.

Authentic Hornby green too...one for the connoisseur Seriously though I always knew this thread was subversive,there being seemingly innumerable images or references to aforementioned 4920.Someone,somewhere is trying to induce me to submit to pressure from the Rails website where there is a Yorkshire "bonanza" of Free Postage weekend which makes a siren seductive noise in tune with ANTB....there being an already "cheap price" (no,not really ) on the Bachmann .I know I ought not but sentiment will always be my undoing weakness....cue soundtrack of "Brief Encounter"   Come on boy  let's go....
