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

Some more shots next of the 8F 8434 as she heads west with her coal train.

It is a very smart and powerful looking loco.

I reckon I could use one of these if it could get across the viaduct without bringing it down!

 

LMS = Little Muddle Station....

 

See it would work?

[gwrrob]

As young spams @2ManySpams might say , nice trees.

 

[gwrrob]

Final few for now of the down milk headed by 5993 Kirby Hall.

Those bogies on the K16 from Shapeways are excellent and it takes a lot to derail them. On the other hand the 6 wheel  milk tanks are a different ball game all together.

Ummm, excellent including GF. Just right for snap when playing trains.

Yo.

Damn good value if you get a seagull thrown in too ! 

[gwrrob]

Looking for photos of my Hawksworth stock I came across this shot of @NHY 581 of N class 1848 on GWR coaching  stock. Now that'll confuse you know who.

Hi BG

 

I got into trouble for suggesting they were pasties made from sea gulls when I PMed Mr Duck.

 

Or is it a warning to stay alert for angry white pigeons who want to steal your grub.

Seagull, is probably the meat content, there doesn't seem to be so many around this year.

Just popped by for my treat at ANTB - I'm glad to see things don't change too much...... Pasties are still being mentioned :-)

 

Although I notice a couple of strange looking locos.....

 

Balanced of course with a lovely Hall and Pannier.

 

I hear there might have been suggestions a while back for an alternative to Railmatch GWR Light and Dark stone paint. Does it ring a bell with anyone? Living in Spain in sort-of lockdown I am running low on Railmatch which of course can not be shipped outside the UK. Wheras Valego is made here in Spain.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, Neal.

A heads up on a new, to me anyway, book on freight in Devon & Cornwall that caught my eye in this months Heritage Railway magazine.

 

https://www.mortonsbooks.co.uk/product/view/productCode/15031

 

By author David Mitchell, I don't know exactly what the content of it is but the front cover looks promising. Ideally it might be best to see it in the flesh at a show, whenever that happens again, as at £40 it's a lot of money to gamble on relevant to this thread content. Of course someone might already have it and can give a review.

[A Murphy]

the Humbers look really good Rob.......

[Neal Ball]

Is there something nice and Green coming along shortly @GWRrob? Maybe a nice Pannier on a local, or a Castle on the Down main?

 

Thanks :-)
