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

Nice jumpers !

Pity the windows are not much better than the Airfix B set  though they may look better when the droplights are painted on .

Given the carriages aren’t due for ages, I suspect this is a very early test.

 

I am sure the windows will look very different with drop lights.

It's been a while due to him being unwell, at least six months but he's @toboldlygogetting better and hasn't lost his weathering touch. Here we see a couple of the latest Rapido wagons . The mink has had destinations added using transfers, inspired by the work of Nick @Brinkly and Gerry @Bulwell Hall. The four plank needs a load, any suggestions ?

 

 

 

 

Bits of scrapped pannier tank?

It's very kind of the grand inquisitor to give his guests/victims access to Wifi...

Play Off Final then Rob? Pity it's Luton as they deserve to be going up after their trip in 9 years.

Best of luck

Quite. I think modern boxes are generally much better presented. Some are tricky to get into, due to suction between the parts but with perseverance, entry can be effected. The main thing of course is that the delicate contents are well protected and crucially, once you've finished, they're easily resealed, ready for next time.

Going to the best of layouts.Enjoy. Had to defer delivery of mine as I’m off the piste on &off until early June.And talking of piste ( off ) my absence from chez moi is due partly to committing the sin of icon worship at the KWVR which is hosting a visit from 60103 in the coming week.Other goodies are available……🤣

Seeing as we ordered on the same day hopefully mine won’t be far behind it.  
will be interesting to see how much effort it takes to get rid of the W before the number on the O59

I'm guessing not much. Also I'm hoping the next run includes some grey roof versions.😉

Greetings all. Hope Rob won't mind this question. I think Capn K took some summer-time photos some years ago, of Devon around Brent for a Backscene for Rob? Did I imagine this?
