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

That won't do it any good.

As seen elsewhere on the forum..

 

 

 

A something a lot smaller arrived as well

 

[The Fatadder]

From Bristol today:  I want!

[gwrrob]

The 94xx is looking rather cute too. There's quite a few goodies due to be released in the next twelve months or so.

Hi Rich

 

Not buying the blue pullman in grey livery as well? It were on the Great Western Region after the Midland saw sense and got rid of it.

I have a Triang set that is half way through being detailed, if I even have a need for one I expect finishing that will be the solution.  I'd rather do some modelling than spend that sort of money.   (To be honest if the Wild Boar Models kit was still available at half the price of the Bachmann crane I'd be going for a kit for that as well.

The up station building is also available as a sepia print.

The TRW Ship Yard worker  has had a very busy Bank Holiday..

Are you having it scanned and 'printed' off then, Robin?

 

Can you get them to 'print' a 12" to the foot size one, please, and I'll hire a digger, so we can plonk it back where it belongs.

Not too bad now, following 25 years of having been open. Service levels have improved as well, so it's a viable option especially for travel to/from Plymouth.

 

[gwrrob]

The way they're throwing houses up in South Devon there's every chance Brent might reopen in the next twenty years.

Last King I saw at Plymuff; summer 62 IIRC. Was absolutely filthy sadly. This, on the other hand, is bootylicious.

There is a new station just outside Execeter Central. Horrible concrete and plastic thing with huge car park on the edge of a vast estate. of ticcy tacky.

Actually stopped at Ivybridge a few weeks back aboard the 09.49 HST to the bear's Station. Sat there for several minutes; could have been Adlestrop, but it was not an afternoon of heat and I could not hear any Blackbirds.
