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

Pop over to Kettering, that's still on. Might have some gauging issues with purchases on ANtB though.

 

Good things come from Kettering....

In the Wild Swan book by Copsey , The Great Western in South Devon, it has the lists a selection of trains for '47. No diagrams of course just the type of coach used. I'll have to whip my Hornby Staniers out won't I. :onthequiet:

:punish: Thats more money besides the cost of the book, I will need another 1/2 doz' pink team coaches having seen the coach formation lists on trains from the north just to cover a few of those movements

               SWMBO has gone into one about buying them so I told her it's all your fault. :beee:                  :jester:

1363 being tested on my rolling road. As discussed on the 1361 thread the model is quite noisy on first use but I'm very confident they will quieten down when the gears bed in, just as Dave Jones has suggested yesterday.

Lovely photos Robin...

A nice purchase and well worth the wait.

My Kernow O2’s & Hatton’s 14xx started off a bit noisy but have now settled down to be smooth runners.

It’s a real shame Kernow/DJM didn’t do the 1366’s as planned.

Out of interest how many lamps would a GWR shunters truck show? Would it have a red and a clear lamp or just one of them showing?

Cheers,

Mark

Carrying on with the winter's theme, here are a few shots taken on the SVR today.

I had a snowy trip behind a big green loco yesterday:

Then I found these two in a rather dark and gloomy NRM:

I'm not sure which railway this belonged to?

For the return journey we had a change of motive power.

I'd heard that Midland engines were red but I didn't know they were such a strange shape:

A nice close up of the rear detail on 1363, a view I've not seen on any thread yet. Those hooks are begging for some fire irons.
