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

3. Alternative. I'm sure that those wonderful people at Kernow would happily sell you a different nice little loco that comes in a very similar box. Choose from three, all unlined black, loved working up to Wenford and back up to 1961.

 

Right. That's done it!

 

Another 500 years on the Naughty Step for you, laddie, with no remission, parole or the slightest chance of pink slippers.

Always one to think outside the box Chris.

Yes, but I think the cold out there has addled his brain, and what's more, who said he could step outside from his Naughty Step?

[Captain Kernow]

everyone can get off Kernow's back and move on.

Whilst expressing my personal bemoanings, I still wish Chris and the team well with this and all their other projects. I'm not sure about getting one now, though (and a 74XX with four times the bulk beckons), so I will certainly wait and see what others initial assessments are about the likely success of removing the sausages.

 

Incidentally, the door bell just rang and outside was postie, shivering in the short-lived Wednesday South Hams blizzard, with his regulation Post Office shorts on, asking for a signature on a small (but doubtless perfectly formed) package emanating from said emporium in Camborne. No sooner had I exclaimed to CTMK that I didn't recall ordering anything, that she whisked it away, muttering 'I'd better have that'.

 

I'm hoping for great things when she finally reveals her cameo layout project.

Maybe, but such a pity that this is even having to be considered. From the position of the splashers, it could end up being quite a big job with no guarantee of retaining the factory finish once the hole had been filled and paint-matched.

The appearance of the splasher area would be the least of your worries... Heavy duty bodging R us.

 

 

Warranty definitely voided.

[gwrrob]

Warrentee definitely voided.

 

My 'local' model emporium told me my guarantee is void even by weathering/renumbering the model let alone drastic surgery on it.

Definitely void on my 1366 then.

I much prefer the look of a 1366 to a 1361 (as long as I don't have to build it).

So your in the "DOUBLE PINK" team then Rob 

The Heljan one's are OK my two have not had much in the way of running yet but perform well with Gaugemaster DC controllers I ducked

 out of a Kernow one as the electonic track cleaners I use fry coreless motors one thing I did was to see mine running at the store before buying.

My only beef with the loco's are the footplate edges are a bit rough and will need attention of a file & paint as well as straightening a few things up

at the end of the day it's down to personal choice I'm happy with them if I wasn't they would have stayed in the shop.

The photos I've seen of the class at Weymouth gladden the heart, tomatoes from Guernsey anyone.

[81C]

Rob can you let me know if you find a photo  of a 1361 with shirtbutton livery besides 1363 spent all day yesterday going through the library with no success.

What I did find was a set of 1361 plates which just might fall on my loco with some Masterpiece figures.

[gwrrob]

I've seen a photo of 1364 in shirtbutton livery taken at NA but I can't remember where.Thinking about it more it was a pm by Andy M when Kernow first announced the model.Dated late 40s I believe.

BR black, Rob.

 

I would lean towards the early crest 1366.

The Heljan version is cheaper and is 1365. Mike would confirm if the details are correct on this version.

The Kernow model is 1362 and detail is correct apart from the splashers of course.

Found elsewhere on RMweb just now "It's still snowing here at Horrocksford". I just know one of our revered contributors will be mortified.

Very kind of you Rob. I shall make sure my shirt is ironed.

 

It looks to be a jolly nice show with some very fine layouts there and I just hope old Sheepy stands up alongside such esteemed company.
