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

The Manor's funnel doesn't look right - or has this been mentioned many times before?

  Happy New Year.

Good grief man, are you trying to get the Rivet Police to raid us?

Surely we all know it's just the very limited-edition Christmas special version?

PDK sell a very nice replacement (with a choice of BR or GW designs)...

Really must fit some handrails to it!

News travels slowly to foreign shores.  God forbid a visit from the RP!

The above locomotive resembles a GWR 'manor' class so closely, that I can only conclude that this is indeed the prototype that is being depicted in the above illustration.

Well, I stretched the truth a little  considerably, but 30857 (when 857) had a special round topped, Nickel Silver boiler (fitted in January 1937 to June '39 as a test bed for a planned Maunsell 4.6.2. or 4.8.0. loco design), and joggled deflector plates.

Can’t be that cold or the signalman wouldn’t have the windows of the box open.

Possibly a case of having put too much coal on the fire and the inside of the signal box is now too hot?

Possibly a case of the windows being stuck and the civil engineers haven't got round to fixing them yet...?

I've been informed that by keeping my mind active with modelling it will enhance my well being,
So may I wish all in the Parish of Brent a Happy 2015 !

[gwrrob]

The Manor shots were popular so the last shot of mine for the year is another of 7804 Baydon Manor on an up service.

 

May I wish all followers and contributors of this thread a very happy new year 2020. A new decade beckons.

And all the very best to you mate and all my fellow inmates at Brent open prison and home for the bewildered.

Most every day time is spent at Brent. (Poetry!)  Its been so for the last few years and although not my scale, gauge or primary interest, it has given much pleasure with its association with a railway and part of the country I knew so well!  Thanks for that!

Happy New Year.

A steamy start for the New Year.  4953’s return to service on the Epping Ongar Railway.

 

Happy New Year!
