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

How are you going to break that to @2ManySpams

 

A 21 gun salute from HMS Victory should be subtle enough...

 

 

Pity that we don't have any Dreadnoughts left, that would be even more appropriate.

Can't be any worse than making him operate Ex-L&NER tram engines in public for two days.............

Ah, layout operator's corporate wear.

 

It's much better than the usual corporate polo shirts or sweatshirts that are made of some weird fabric which simultaneously brings on asthma, hay fever and radiation sickness.

Quite. Currently assessing the new seasons loud shirt releases for this year's round of exhibitions.

A friend of mine used to wear a black Hawaiian shirt with large pink flamingos on it.

 

His wife's opinion is not recorded.


perhaps what I should have said is “the worst thing for Sarah is that’s I’d actually wear that”

Back to the 48xx for a second…. When Accurascale release it, could they also get rid of the inset for the numberplate please!

 

I never did understand the logic for it!

 

(As well as the missing ash pan and running capability’s)

Thanks. 😎

One of the few 'recent' models that I would be itching to replace should an upgraded version appear,  all be it if the body was relatively unchanged I would be inclined to see if I could move my existing GWR black and weathered 1470 body onto the new chassis 

 

Fingers crossed there is good news on its reappearance soon, for now I am more than happy messing around with Bulldogs

Which reminds me that I have a nearly finished upgrade to the old Airfix version sitting on the bench.

 

It's on the list!

I would add, for the inter-war (and later) periods, rather than Bachman's approach of the post-war version only.

This was more what I had in mind:

You only get a bigger bang with a Dreadnought carriage if 4472 Flying Backwards reverses into it.

Those emergency Oars so beautifully retracted, are a good idea for when it is Torpedoed.

Really pleased with the 3d print / dukedog chassis model, not cheap but highly recommended.  Wish I had some green paint so I could finish it off!

And fix the dome so its not a seamless join onto the boiler cladding. Its not supposed to be one amorphous blob.

Hopefully @Accurascale Fran is keeping an eye on our suggestions 😎 Obviously, he can not confirm or deny at this stage.... its just food for thought for when they do look at the 48xx (and Autocoach). 😎
