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

Why not. I wouldn't mind donating a few quid if that means the engine shed  will appear in future episodes of ANTB. Highly enjoyably show so far....

Actually that is a great idea. I'm in for a few quid.

Bless you Sierd but the price quoted for Geoff Taylor's work is beyond the budget of this thread.

Isn't it just and so is the engine shed. Shall I get my begging bowl out.

 

Looks very nice doesn't it, however my fancy is directed towards the signalbox which might be about the right size for what I have in mind.

I don't think Tony is looking to exact the original five figure sum for all these items (while hardly being likely to give stuff away of course)

[brianusa]

I've been known to get the vapours with a three figure sum!

Was Trevor hanging from the rafters or did he use a drone?

Different angles give you different views.

Does it give you ideas for trying different positions....so to speak!!!

I'm open to requests for any loco of mine to have the Santa headboard adorning it in the run up to Christmas but in the meantime here's 1022 County of Northampton bound for Plymouth.

Something has happened on the site of the future road access to the station car park.

How about City of Truro on an Ocean Mails Santa Special - bringing you all those cards from your

readers over the pond!

Looks like one of them dodgy Christmas theme parks setting up we hear so much about this time of year.......

Next we'll see some dogs running around with antlers purporting to be reindeer, fake snow everywhere and adults dressed as elf's!!!

 

Then I expect we'll see the auto train passing through with a Santa Express headboard pretending to be the Polar Express!

[Captain Kernow]

I had lunch in the shadow of Loddiswell station today, in the very nice garden centre down there.

 

I remember the days when the former station used to be an excellent tea shoppe, where I had what was probably the best cream tea I've ever tasted.

It was the second cathedral I visited, at age 17, and there haven't been many since.
