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

Like me he has an obliging swmbo who encourages visits to railway themed West Country locations. We are very lucky indeed.

Nearly as good as marrying one who lives there!

I think you have mentioned it before but where do you get your loco crews from....I suspect if I trolled through hundreds of pages I would find the answer but if you could be so kind......

Remember I have three loco's and a railcar to crew.....

 

Another question if I may, what are the crew up to in the last picture - are they dancing?

I know there is a certain celebration of a liberating Law going on at the moment and so this is quite an appropriate picture and Rob should be congratulated on his inclusivity.

Kevin I thought you would like to know the figures are £5 unpainted as it's not out of your scope you done an excellent job painting those Dart Castings people.

I saw them at Railex where my wife wanted me to do a pose as a crew member, not done that yet but I might do for posterity.......

Afternoon  all - I have returned (assuming you'd noticed that I'd gone).  Precipitating steadily in Plymouth this a.m. but very sunny and hot in Dartmouth yesterday (from where I saw some trains across the water) otherwise all I have done trainwise in the past week is travel on them.

 

However we saw a model signalbox (very large scale, probably the biggest model signalbox in Britain and in fact rather longer than scale length)

 

 

 

And we saw a couple of Castles, starting with 4088

 

 

then, a bit later, 5015 - which was in steam

Beautiful photos and a place quite a few on here have visited this year it seems.

However we arrived by a rather novel route for day visitors -

 

 

Having left our holiday home out at sea (although this one was taken when we left her to go ashore for an ice cream at Mevagissey last Saturday, same method of travel though) -

Mr Station Master is obviously having his annual jaunt with Trinity House, it would appear to be along the South coast this year.

Rob's layout is so sweet I have decided to test my trickery and clearances on SOSJ with both proper job engines............ and a Hall or Grange (for the fat cylinder test).

I've just checked most of the GWR RTR loco's are basically the same size 36mm how about a few layers of masking tape on the cylinders to beef them out.
