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

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!

Not at Seatonjunctionish it isn't!

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?

 

The Finching sisters had to wait until 1957 when they finally got a chance to drive City of Truro over the South Devon Banks.

I've been on the footplate of CoT - twice, both times when she was in Truro.

 

Didn't see the Finchings though...

Perhaps they were out of the cab oiling 'round?

I had a footplate ride on it while it was being turned on Maindee triangle during the first excursion it worked (down to Newport) in 1985.

I had a footplate ride on it when it was running round a set of charter stock at Exeter St Davids. Splendid.

I'd like to think those empties are on their way to Helstonish, ready for the start of the Lizard farmers brocoli season.

 

(I'm still waiting for the double headed Kings).

 

Keep up the good work

They're going to Hackney Sidings,have some more.

Oh yes.Does the Knight look correct in the new Hornby photo or is it still shewing pipes ?
