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've heard it said that like a pannier, a Peckett W4 No.560 rarely offends, especially as it was made in Brizzle.

Am I loosing my marbles or is it b0110xspeak week. 

No, that was last week.

 

This week it is bolleaux speak week.

[Oldddudders]

Not to be confused with Bollo Lane Junction, near Acton. 

[ian]

No, that was last week.

 

This week it is bolleaux speak week.

 

Ah, as in the old joke.

 

"How much are those fancy cakes, them gattocks?"

 

"They are gateaux sir, and cost five pounds per slice."

 

"Five pounds! All I've got to say to you is bolleaux."

 

Anyone seen my coat?

I thought you lost your marbles years ago, when you played Kerplunk with them and lost against Errol the Hamster

You must be thinking of some one else I never had a hamster and nor would I have called by that idiotic name of Errol and yes I have lost my marbles it was caused by reading utter tosh on this forum 

written by people who have lost theirs.

"Doesn't post to France". In red letters! My W4 runs beautifully. I expect this one would too. 

 

I bet Sherry would, if you asked really nicely...

She will be here Monday afternoon, so we may be too late. Anyway, that item deserves to be sold to someone who will provide it with a bodyshell fit for such a good chassis, and I may not be that person.

Other than myself ,this is possibly one of the cutest things to ever appear on this thread.

You really ought to lay in the junction for the Dartmoor and Avon Valley Light Railway, Robin, so that the little Peckett has some real work to do.

That's alright, it's just wandering lonely as a cloud at the moment.

I would of thought 'All by myself' or 'Only the Lonely' would be more appropriate

Are you trying to impress with your knowledge of Bill Wordsworth.

Sorry but my first thought was  PERCY!

I finally plucked up the courage to weather my double bolster. I did a dry run first on an old Ratio fence panel.

 

 

Here it so before I started.

 

 

 

 

Two coats of basecoat

 

 

 

 

Then I started dry brushing other shades, there are five more in the set.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the sides are steel, I masked around them on the model before doing the floor. More over the weekend .

Don't be put off by the price as it's a quality model. They do a LNER version too. My plan is for a rake loaded with steel heading to Devonport.

[gwrrob]

Weathering work started with a basecoat [713] and first highlights [714]
