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

Also seen was the queue for the audition for sitting on the platform seat next to Minnie and Flora.

Yes, it is a public footpath, which goes all the way alongside the river up to Lydia Bridge

Ah yes, I remember her well, a most obliging young lady.

Oh I dunno - the cab cutout doesn't look wonderful (but that might be down to the colouring of it).

The cutouts don't appear to have quite the same shape to me, which is why they might not look right, we'll have to see if the production version is right. At least they've got the green right, if you're looking for a post 1928 version. However they have made a bit of a boo-boo with the splasher tops, which should be black. Lets hope they get that right, although easy enough to rectify, along with the other painting errors.

Nice pics.  Great for the late 1940s gang, but I was disappointed that the Maunsell version has only been released so far in BR livery.  At the Hornby stand yesterday I expressed hopes that this omission would be rectified in 2017; unfortunately the guy I spoke to didn't seem to know, so I completed a suggestion form as well.

Thank you for the tempting photos- have you asked your small herd what they think of the insides?

I wish I could model water as good as this seen on Mara Harbor.

 

Nah! You wanna stick closer to home matey, try the Dawlish route ( as seen on my earlier journey today )

 

Now this would be a challenge!

I thought I had read that in 2017 they will indeed reverse the liveries, with the Maunsell wagon getting SR livery, and the Bulleid coming into BR days. But I may have got that wrong.

Robin if you want tutoring in the art of water you should make the effort and come south to some shows there is a chap Roy Hickman who appears at most of them, he makes villages out of cornflake packets and

other scenic features with all sorts of junk just sit with him for a demo before you know the entire Brent village would be built.
