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

Worsley Works have now produced another set of GWR clerestory sides. It is the C16 which is the rebuilt form of the Hornby body. Fully paneled and design as an exact fit to the Hornby body. £25 a set with ends, clerestory insert and vents etc.

That's welcome news Mike.  From what you've said before I believe the earlier etch for the Hornby 2/3 compo model was of an earlier (i.e. pre-1930s) incarnation  Thanks for letting us all know via the great clearing house that is ANTB.  Another project looms!

Looking absolutely mouth watering, the final checked CADs of the Kernow railmotor are available on Facebook. No delivery date given but our patience here will be rewarded.

Will you be getting one @gwrrob? If so, which version? I'm assuming the latest livery for a "what if" they survived past 1935?

From Kernow's information on the railmotors they are producing, the one you are getting (and the one I should pre-order), it is "Simplified GWR Chocolate & Cream late 1920s onwards." And agreed, too nice not to have! I bet it will look superb with an autocoach. Yet I'm still waiting for someone to produce are RTR of an A28 or A30 that actually looks good.

Don’t worry, I agree with your initial comment and there isn’t room for both of us.

It’s a very nice SMU . . .

Hi to Robin, and the 150+ followers of this thread,

 

Having enjoyed reading this thread over the last year or so and thrown in the occasional thought, I decided I should let you know that I have set up a thread called "Lower Thames Yard" for my upcoming Western Region layout.

There is no layout yet, just plans, and while I can't promise this thread's level modelling action or loco videos I hope you will have a look and chuck in your two pennys worth telling me (politely!) what you think of my efforts. 

 

In the first post I have set the scene and subsequently asked help on background from the first respondents. 

 

Next I will be telling readers how I am dealing with semaphore and colour light signals to cope with operating in two eras 30 years apart!

Soon I hope to post pics of my efforts with BR and 1990s liveries although I know they are no match for the GW efforts of those posting to this site.

 

So "Cheers" everyone, and I hope to read you in my thread at some stage!  

 

Best regards

Paul

There was much interest from the punters in his model of his model.

I must have been asleep: I omitted to show interest. He was marking up that part in the photo when I dropped by.
