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

I'm sorry but the great man is wrong.

 

Whisper it soft..I am relieved.  because this one has "must have" written all over it

[gwrrob]

A few leftovers.

Mr. Adams himself would have been pleased with the first shot.

A lasercut model is also available (https://railmodel.co.uk/products/engine-shed-princetown-4mm).

Should be simple enough to shorten it if you want a smaller model.

 

Not familiar with these but have potential although having a water tower on the model compromises the one I already have in situ somewhat.

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands....

Thanks to A York.

 

My layout should have loads of these - pity one can't get a volume discount

[Tim Dubya]

Spotted this on Farcebook and just wondering what the coach is behind the 14xx.

 

 

Cheers

It’s got very large buffers in the style of an autocoach. So big the firemen can’t bear to look at them !

[chrisf]

Tim, do you mean the grubby coach coupled to the 14xx, which is a venerable auto trailer, or the rather cleaner one which is a BG?

Thanks Chris, was referring to the auto trailer. I take it, it's quite an old diagram?

 

Cheers

Looks a bit like it was taken at Newton Abbot, but the building in the background should be in stone, not brick.

 

Actually, thinking about it, I really don't think it's Newton Abbot, but I'm not now sure where it is.

Try Gloucester Central.

[westerner]

I'd say Gloucester Central as well. The Chalford Flyer perhaps.

2884 class 3864 trundles through with a coal train whilst 3796 sits with her B set.

But not one, but two auto trains!

[Welchester]

Try Gloucester Central.

 

As it was named after Nationalization. My late father began his railway career as a junior clerk in the goods shed in the background in 1934.

Your begining to upset me now, I drive past there 4 days a week for work, and I've never seen anything as nice as that. (Only filthy Colas class 66s on the

rail-head Treatment Trains lately).

[Captain Kernow]

Try Gloucester Central.

OK then, I will, thanks.

 

Robin, I think it's Gloucester Central.

[gwrrob]

Never been to Gloucester but have enjoyed their cheese. Anyone seen the cheese advent calendar that's available.

You're in the wrong vehicle

[Oldddudders]

Never been to Gloucester 

 

My train used to reverse there once every four weeks back in the mid-nineties. Actually it's a fair bet it also reversed there the days I wasn't on board, but I can't swear to that. I joined the train at Swindon, was en route Derby. 

[M.I.B]

 

Double Gloucester perhaps????

[Captain Kernow]

I can't believe that I'm getting wound up about someone's negative attitude to the new Julie Walters 'Coastal Railways' series on TV. What are things coming to?

I enjoyed it but I'm easily pleased and also it's been said that my swmbo is a dead ringer for Mrs Weasley.

I agree, had some chap on Farcebook demanding the programme show more trains and give more detail such as boiler pressure and tractive effort.  I asked if he meant Ms Walters and pointed out that information is for Mr Grant Roffey and Mr Grant Roffey only.

 

I may or may not have also called him a w####r.

[gwrrob]

Lets see if a Manor is more popular than the 38xx as Manor class 7804 Baydon Manor sits by the up platform. It seems Dr Creasy is in the vicinity too.
