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

Kernow,  here's the prototype for comparison.

Nice dent in the cylinder cladding, I bet that if you modelled that someone would say that you had bodged it up.

[Oldddudders]

Oh, is this manufactured by DJM then?

 

It seems to me (on this particular example, at least), that the cylinders should be angled down a little more. Certainly the cylinders/slidebars and piston/crosshead assembly should all be at the same angle, surely, and intersecting the centre of the middle axle?

 

Other examples in Andy Y's photos clearly show the cylinder and sidebars at the same, increased, angle. It's not all bad news!

Loving the gaps around the number plate and the piston rod & crosshead that doesn't line up with the naff looking slide bars, shame the rest of the body looks nice.

 

And here I was thinking it was a nice little model!

Back to 9678 and bauxite then.

I'm sure those vans would like to have 1361 in black, fussing them around.

[St Enodoc]

You can have too much bauxite..........Kuantan Malaysia ecological disaster.

Reminds me of Devon or Mars.........

Much of north-western Australia looks like that...

[St Enodoc]

What does this mean?

 

(Nice little engine, by the way, is it out yet?)

In this country, a wowser is a spoilsport or killjoy.

[81C]

I'm still buying one Robert.

Good for you mate it's your money. 

 

Btw I thought a Wowser was a 4 legged creature that caught mice.

A Wowser is wot the RAF carry their petrol in.....

 

Take a bow, sir.

1363 in black with early crest pour moi monsewers. (In my dreams).

Very cute, Dr Quackydoo, very cute indeed.

 

I'd rather like a little 1361 myself, to remind me of the first K's kit I ever built bodged.

Looks to be an assembly error as one of the other BRM samples appears to be absolutely right.  Might therefore be tweakable (not that is should  be necessary to do any tweaking of course).

Keep this to yourselves thanks to Andy York. Of course by doing it this way there's no need now to pop round for a coffee, chat and to run them on ANTB.

I know, just had some for lunch and it was a right beggar trying to find some peeled bits without bones in to share with the cat.

Gate-stock? Crikey!

 

Now booked to depart China 06 October according to Mr Kernow's website.

Just reading the review of the birdcage stock in MR, delightful models, you Southern modellers will be drooling. Any seen west of Exeter.....

Agree, but have you seen the nice pictures on the Dapol site of the streamlined railcar!!! - page 18

I have no 8 on order........

Perfect for your masterpiece but were they ever seen on the South Devon banks, highly unlikely.

I suspect not. The former-LSWR lines had plenty of their own Pre-Grouping stock, and the Birdcages were still in use on former-SECR lines until supplanted by Maunsells, themselves made redundant due to Kent Coast Electrification, in an era - pre-Beeching - when branches were being closed anyway.

I'm tempted Kevin but I would have to wait a while if I want one I had Drysllwyn Castle, Rood Ashton Hall and a Heljan 1361 for my birthday this week, I'm like Rob it wasn't seen in Devon

so rule 1 would have to be invoked.

I wonder whether this young man would appeal to the Finching sisters?
