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

Pull yourself together man!

[Captain Kernow]

I'd say it had more to do with the AC supply you were trying to mimic with that point!

I know you've done 'modern stuff' on ANTB, such as running the APT, but erecting catenary just for a photo-shoot might be considered by some to be going a bit far?

 

Does Robin have some secret hankering to run EM1s and EM2s on the layout, on the basis of the pre-war GWR proposals to electrify west of Taunton? (hang on, that would have been DC, now I'm confused).

[Andy Y]

Don't be daft; you know they only ran on the S&D Tim.

 Extraordinary work Andy and Rob. Us grumpy middle-aged Europeans rarely use the word, but I have to in this case: Awesome!

It will be a nice Christmas present for everybody.

I would like to have described Andy's photos as 'awesome' as well, but as I've now banned the use of this expression world-wide, I'll just say that they're very, very, very nice.

[Limpley Stoker]

Fabulous pics- but I was a bit worried that all that smoke would make your newly painted footbridge dirty.

Nice footbridge, lovely footbridge but needs enhancing/weathering and then it will be a stupendous footbridge!

The painters hadn't quite finished the job when I turned up but they did shift their ladders and paint pots out of our way.

Are you offering Mr Stupendous Weatherer.

[bgman]

A few packets of Wills Wiffs smoked underneath will sort out that weathering ! )

Why has that Hall got lime green wheels? My head is hurting with fear of a duck takeover.

Then here's another  -  "absolutely!"  The pictures are indeed, very, very nice.
