cary hill Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Glad we got that out of the way. Incidentally, you can find a real,and fully operational Tiger not that far from Brent: CIMG2771.jpg Bovington's Tiger I, photographed last month. It works, so you could take it out for a stroll to Hattons.. Some refuelling needed on the way, but parking won't be a problem. Yes the fuel economy of a Tiger I tank, when used as an SUV, is rated from "extremely poor to absolutely disgraceful" according to several motoring website reviews. Apparently a full 150 gallon (£900?) tank full of fuel might just get me to Bath, as long as "off-roading" is strictly limited. Latest: Trip from Bovington to Hattons and return by Tiger tank cancelled - going by Virgin Trains to collect my Hornby Wellington - Walk Up Wool to Liverpool Lime Street First Class Open Return - £543 - bargain!

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted August 28, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 28, 2014 Was it something like this.....?taxi.jpg If so, well done; an excellent excuse to make contact with Miss A. Phil Alas not, otherwise i might still be there (unless Mrs Stationmaster had dragged me away). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have a drink or two as well, although in a Tiger I don't think the bill would be in to great a rush to give you a breathalyser test.

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted August 28, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 28, 2014 I am getting withdrawal symptoms. Can I see a GWR Tank pulling something please Rob? If you browse the thread there's hundreds of photos but as you asked nicely and you're new to this thread, how about 4582 on a short train of empties ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted August 28, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 28, 2014 Two for the price of one this evening.Like Paul [PD&SWJR] say's you can't have too many prairies. 4582 arrives at Brent and get's a signal check with a load of empties from Hackney Sidings whilst another prairie 4547 leaves with a coach bound for Kingsbridge.

Dear Captain Kernow, I couldn't wait to get down to Brent after I read your comments above. All was well as per the top photograph, as I walked up from the village, with a promising glimpse of the signal box. As soon as I crossed the road an impenetrable Google Map Street View forest suddenly sprang up completely obscuring "the view" of Brent Station that you promised. Seriously misleading information..... These are the sausages, with trimmings and cooked on a fireman's shovel, that I was going to send you to help with your Summer Sizzler Sausage Appeal: They have been eaten in Leicestershire.

Seeing that bottom picture reminds me of the use that was made of the shovel (or actually two uses as the other involved a way of getting a bit more work out of the engine behind the leading one). No wonder the 'old boys' used to go to the canteen for breakfast whenever they could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
