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

In other news, here's a book that arrived today and upon first glance it looks to be a little beauty, some bedtime reading will be employed later.

 

 

Bought for various reasons but mainly for a little ? project that I have in mind.

I find the fact people could eat a loco, quite frankly worrying 

You've been a regular on this thread for how long and you're still finding this kind of thing worrying?

I'm sure there were some members of the RMWeb Gold Lounge in the special coaches. Why wasn't I told?

Only for last year and a bit and I do find people wanting to eat loco's disturbing - but I am on the outside of the asylum looking in

They all think they're on the outside and that the trees and grass in the gardens are real.

I brought the boy a chocolate Thomas the other year.  That was definitely edible.

The Cap'n found a nice vid of a nice locomotive in the correct colour and all you lot can do is talk.  What about the elegant engine and carriages?  I liked it anyway!

You may not wish to accept all the image captions as stated. I have the other Maidment books where some of his picture descriptions are pure fantasy. I am just looking at the Counties book. Same picture features twice, described as two different locos at two different locations on two different dates and there are may others gems  besides this one and again in the 4-4-0 books.

Actually, it was Bgman who found it, I just made a facetious comment.

 

Notice to all - steer clear of South Brent this morning, the local roads appear to be full of earnest, lycra-clad cyclists.

Don't you blame me, I woz told by the trees and the grass just behind a big wall. Anyway I'm off to pull on some lycra and ride my tricycle.
