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

Have the cattle gone to market? I don't recall seeing any in the dock in recent pictures

I'm sure I can rustle up some Devonshire cattle for you David.

Those photos are really inspirational.

 

Knowing what its like now, and seeing something fairly recognisable as about the stage of parts of my layout,

is very encouraging.

 

Thanks for the insight.

Can I see Openreach broadband cabinets in the first photo ? I'll have a word with continuity......

Knowing them and the antics they get up to in the village, they're probably busy cutting off the telephone service to the station.

Just spotted those rather nice signals, Robin. Who makes those, please, are they MSE, Ratio, Dapol or similar?

Well spotted Tim.The nearest is Dapol but the new one is MSE and is an all brass construction. Nearly as nice as yours on Engine Wood and Bleakhouse Road.I'm looking at adding a few more up the overbidge end as funds permit.

Rob, make the stripes on the Dapol signals a bit wider (about 3 mm) and nobody will be able to spot the difference.
