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

Whatever's requested.

 

More GW. moguls.

Meanwhile the Staff at Berry Brow Station maintain their anxious platform edge vigil....

At least the station is still open.

So that will be a Grange then Rob ?.

In true railway fashion, the Porter hasn't moved for ages; another train has arrived and he's still hanging around his barrow. Unless he's still posing like the staff at Berry Brow station hoping to get his picture taken! The good doctor is back again too; what a constitution he must have! Seriously, lovely shots and great modelling and after all this time its feels as familiar as if I once trod its platforms!

More GW. moguls.

The last of this batch.

That 43xx is certainly earning its keep!  A true workhorse.  Everyone wants one now.  Hope Bachmann are listening!

[Captain Kernow]

I'm not sure that I actually want a 43XX mogul myself, but if I passed one in a dark alley one night, I'd certainly be polite enough to greet it and ask it the time of day.

Time of day ? At night ? In a dark alley ? How's the mogul supposed to see its watch ?

 

Sometimes, really.....

[Siberian Snooper]

I'd like to know what the Captain was doing with a mogul, in a dark alley in the first place.

I thought the days of the Raj were over, or are we still in 1947 ?

Put me in mind of this

I was told by an alumni of A shop that a mogul was a 61xx that had been caught outdoors sans hat, jacket and trousers.

Perhaps the Finching sisters could be allowed to get on a train? Maybe even a footplate ride in recognition of their resilience on the platform at Brent?

I thought that was usually a Hall turn.Have you a photo to share Mike ?

[Captain Kernow]

I've just found a Comet 'Grange' chassis kit that I panic-bought from Mainly Trains a couple of years ago, when the future of the Comet kit range was in doubt.

 

I don't need it any more. Anyone interested?

That scene looks more like O gauge! The Grange looks hefty yet the motion realistically delicate.

Your lighting rig is avoiding any harsh shadows and giving a pleasing slightly overcast daylight effect. Armchair loco spotting is a real pleasure!

Cheese and crackers.
