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

Nice to see that again Alan. Fortunately, as my two photos show the left hand end in each case no one knows that our models both have the same number.

[St Enodoc]

OK

Nice backscene.

Look at those huge wheels. They must be Finescale 16mm Pecoboo RIP 25 flanged pewter things. Sorry but they look too big for the bogies. Nice apart from that of course.

...and here, on this vast savanna, if you wait long enough you may be lucky enough to see a lone prairie passing in the distance, heading for the watering tower...

I think the adage is "if you haven't got anything good to say about something then don't say it all"(!).

In my case, nope! However I did enoy the NSE period, especially with the C50s wooshing through north Surrey in the mid 80s.

I can see one of those coming my way, gaining Hawksworth livery as though nationalisation never happened!

What's that, the Class 57.

There's only one thing for it, fight !

 

[Captain Kernow]

find lucky rabbits foot!  

 

 

There is only one rabbit's foot that will be found at this rate, which is the size 10 boot of the Chief Rabbit's Owsla up someone's backside. One simply cannot make such utterances in the presence of Gerald, the Chief Rabbit.

 

This is a serious matter.

 

 

All hail, Gerald, the Chief Rabbit!

Yes, 6427 has a special place in the Chief Rabbit's affections. Gerald fondly recalls being allowed to share the driver's lettuce on the occasion of that auspicious Royal Tour.

A scrumptious Manor indeed.Come on Bachmann, make it a Delia effect day tomorrow.

Cross fingers and find lucky rabbits foot!  

 

Also the trajectory of Uranus and Mars are in alignment for a positive announcement from Barwell for GWR modellers..

 

 

 

 

.........Then again!

 

According to a reliable astrological source known as Septic Peg there was a major misalignment between Uranus and Mars today leading to interference with Uranus from Jupiter.

 

This in turn resulted in what looked like a tube of Signal toothpaste casting red and white stripes over Jupiter's outer ring with shades of light and dark NSE blue being visible......

 

As for the lucky rabbits foot! .

I'm sorry you didn't get the new Manor you hoped for today, Robin.

[Edwardian]

At least it did not result in rings around Uranus, which would, I imagine, have been far worse.

What was the Chief Rabbi doing in the Forest of Dean? I'm confusedish.

Quackers.

It was the Chief Rabbit, Your Most Special Quaqueitudenousness, and he was visiting a number of new burrow complexes in the Parkend area.

[Mallard60022]

Ah that Clearwells that up. Many thanks.

So he made a speech, but it was in a burrow.
