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

Signals are quite difficult items to get correct for a particular location and so these will only be useful in a limited number of situations, or would do for someone just going for ' a generic' siting. I was just lucky in the the SR/BR 27' ones were just right as Goldilocks might have commented.

For me the cost of the parts and then the fiddle/time of building and then painting them is outweighed by this reasonable cost. I can restock ERNIE by selling some surplus stuff that I really don't need (several 'Packets' to start with).

Really nice job, the boy's done good. (Last time I saw him he was about eight!)

[Captain Kernow]

Now that is a wonderful bit of work, looks like a complete scratchbuild, no kit parts, absolutely excellent.

Absolutely and I must get on and paint it.

Prototype and model.

 

 

[Limpley Stoker]

What a stunning picture comparing the model to the original : I think the model looks better!

[Mallard60022]

What a superb installation Rob. Brings a whole new dimension to the Station mate. Bl00dy good show in such cool weather.

I think the footbridge looks outstanding, even before painting.

 

But am I the only one who will mourn the loss of that view through the gateway, with a prairie simmering in the background, whist the airman made enquiries of the staff.

 

But I guess thats progress, and it wouldn't Brent if the footbridge was moved back to retain the view,would it?
