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

Great photo of 5078 Rob, one of my all-time favourites...

 

 

Suppose with you latest scenic developments that I need to change my usual "nice trees" to "nice grass"!?

 

 

You'll need to be very careful how you type that in........just saying.....

I take it no one on this thread has bought the new Hornby large prairie yet then. I hear the 1930s liveried version is imminent.

@Tallpaul69 of this parish has got a black one.

Mine is on order from Steve at Grimey Times. Will become Laira's 5175.

 

I'll post a photo when it arrives. That may be a few weeks away because it's looking like we may get to Cornwall after all. It will be a very different holiday, probably travelling overnight when it's quieter and keeping ourselves to ourselves in the Cornish countryside but after the last few months I'll gladly take that.

Mine will become 4167 of 83E, replacing a clapped-out original Airfix version.

Surely you mean air smoothing as it's usually those of Southern persuasion who use it most.

Spams is far beyond Air Smoothing, the MiM realise this - as he enjoyed it too much  

 

The Naughty Step with the AC set at a fresh -20 degrees Kelvin* sorts him out 

 

*that's approximately  minus 293 degrees Celsius for us Mortals

If anyone is looking for photos of the new 61xx, Paul M-P has a review on his blog

https://albionyard.wordpress.com/2020/06/21/Hornby-61xx-r3723-review/

 

Looks a very nice model, and will certainly be tempting my aim to avoid more RTR purchases (or at the very least wait for a comparison between it and the Dapol one)

Saw this and couldn't help but snigger...

 

 

Obviously needs a 'Landan' accent.

A Geordie would think about taking a jumper with him, just in case, wouldn't put it on mind, but just in case...

Point of scientific order, you can't get to minus Kelvin numbers (in this universe anyway). 0 Kelvin is absolute zero (as near as dammit).

Grump over. Back to mockney coal wagons...
