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

Back to some Castle photos and we see more of 5078 Beaufort on a down stopper. Waiting for the right of way is 64xx class 6417 on an up service to Exeter.

Currently on the workbench and inspired by a blog by @46444 is this unpainted Dapol fruit D [ AO13].I've fitted new roof vents [Comet] , new buffers [ BO23] and vac pipes [ VP02] from Dave Franks. I'm planning on adding screw links after painting although my might need to tweak the pipes so they don't interfere. A cheap worthwhile upgrade that will mean that I'll probably end up doing them all.

 

I have been looking through my files. There was an excellent series of articles in Railway Modeller by Brian Huxley on creating a large number of the different diagrams and GW covered vans, both long and short wheelbase, including various fruit van conversions from Kirk/Ratio/Airfix/Dublo etc.

Banana Van – January 1976

Mex – August 1978

Minks January 1979

Bigger Minks -1- November 1983

Bigger Minks 2 - December 1983

Gunpowder vans -November 1981

Mica - July 1977

You clearly can't see them. Take those shades off and stop trying to look cool!

Maybe this should be amended to Blinkers ?

You forget the Men in Malachite have you under round the clock surveillance at Robin's request, but you'll never see them - though you nearly clocked the grey squirrel with binoculars this morning
