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

Those wing mounted missiles look awesome.

 

Post war jet designers had strange ideas when it came to cannon fairings - though I think the wing was carried over from the Seafang..

There's a little bit on this in the book The Kingsbridge Branch by Ken Williams.

Yes, they lift the whole thing up a peg or two.

The Men in Malachite do know where you live, so I doubt you want to be 'accidentally' used as practice with one of their 'training drills' and wake up on the Naughty Step with Spams for company

Very pleased to see the GWR polling well in the wishlist poll with the Manor topping the loco poll again. Coaches are also prevalent in the poll too.

It would be nice to have a new RTR Manor up to the standards of say the Hornby Grange: the Manor and Hawksworth County received my votes.

I am incandescent slightly warmed with rage that there are no industrials to choose from this year.

Or any un-rebuilt GWR autocoaches. I apologize for not knowing the diagram that would have been before BR days.

Good to see that the followers of this thread have captured the spirit of the age, and are doing their bit to save the planet by following a plant-based, vegan diet.

What is just utterly disgusting and totally unforgivable is that the most needed Bulleid Brake Second Comp D2406 didn't even appear. I blame you lot (except for tobaldly go and CK and the cunningly Invisibility Cloaked Spams) for being tribal. 

By the way, being a duck has been/is quite useful here at present. The Idle is deffo not that at the moment.

The mighty Mr Sweet will furnish you with that Diagram and if not there will be a link to some sort of Reference for you to peruse.

I'm away from all my data - but is Dia 2406 really a Brake Third?

Ah, neat piece you found there Brian. Stanton and Staveley...not far from me. That would have been an interesting journey/route(s) with a variety of engines. I wonder if they used the GC to Woodford and then down to the Western?

May be a Compo but I CBA to go and check....it is a Loose Brake though.....I hope.....now you got me worried. D2405 was one of the Brake 'pair' in the 2 Sets (P?)  IIRC.

I think I have 6723 in Malachite which must be Dia 2406, I think.

[Oldddudders]

I think this is dia 2405, with the loo at the third class end. Dia 2406 has the loo next to the first class, I think.

Powsides do a few Staveley wagon options including cast pipes.
