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

And a pair I've been building for 'Bethesda Sidings':

I don't think we've had an up parcels for a while so 5993 will do the duties on one.

That Pannier is rather long and has a truck at the back Rob. What's happening?

They look good don't they? I've half-a-dozen or so waiting to be built for Porthmellyn Road. I like the idea of building them on copperclad rather than free-standing and then trying to fit them to the track.

They are designed to be threaded on to existing chaired sleepers, if I have understood the instructions correctly, but it seemed to me to be much easier to simply solder each side onto the copper clad sleepers and then position them on the end of the siding concerned. I have shortened these slightly in terms of the length of whitemetal rail in front of the buffer stops, due to the limited space on the layout.

Seen on the Dapol stand at Ally Pally was this EP of the forthcoming mogul. Not sure the chimney looks right to me.

It’s a shame that the Mitchell range is nolonger available to provide a replacement

That's a 4mm scale mogul, is it, Robin?

Meanwhile, the much delayed inter-regional parcels featuring 5993 Kirby Hall.

Hi Robin,

 

I do like this little area behind this building and the building itself looks interesting - any chance of some photos of this area, please?

 

Thanks.

Happy to Tim but I'm pretty sure I took some last year when I 'planted' the engine shed. Built by Geoff Taylor it's based on the one at Ashburton.

[Captain Kernow]

Thanks Robin.

I did promise some shots of the shed and the area around it. I know nothing of the build except it used the plans in the Wild Swan book on Great Western Branch Termini by Paul Karau in it's creation. I particularly like the brick hut extension myself. More anon.

 

[Captain Kernow]

Thanks Robin, that's a very fine piece of work.

Also seen at Ally Pally, thanks Phil was this EP from Bachmann of their 94xx. Now what I didn't know is they had one at Newton in the late 40s but we don't know what jobs it was used for. Any thoughts ?

Freight down the Teignmouth?

Work in the big Yard east of the Station and up that branch place (Heathfield)? 

I've not seen a picture of one banking Dainton.

That looks very tasty indeed: I had forgotten about that little beauty being prepared.
