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

Long serving GWR fitter of Tigley Junction shed,Tommy Traddles has handed his notice in..............

 

Apparently he's being bullied at work.......

 

More on this soon.

I'm sure that Rob has suitable defences in place to guard against incursions.

 

Yes, mainly by making sure that there is never any  spare coaching stock for a Spam Can to work the Exeter-Plymouth route knowledge trips

Ah, a cross between a Weeping Angel and a Sontaran - very appropriate - one used to see 'em in Brent all the time before Beeching...

Weeping Angels - wouldn't like to meet one on a dark night without a sofa to hide behind.

He doesn't look that happy...

 

Probably needs a holiday to the North Cornwall Coast to get some sunshine in his life.

Poor old Tommy, having to maintain Bulleid's bonkers and rapidly wearing chain-driven valve gear would drive any right-minded GWR fitter to resignation.

 

Perhaps somebody should tell Tommy that the Spam Cans are only staying at Tigley Junction Shed until after this week-end's "Tigley Junction Shed Open Day", then they're going back to Exmouth Junction.......aren't they?......

I'm getting confused by all the changing avatars - even Colin is at it now. We have a captain that's a duck, a Fox with a duck in its mouth and a duck that was a pirate but is now just confused. Is it me?

[Captain Kernow]

Is it me?

Not necessarily, but it might help if you could kindly neither confirm nor deny that you may or may not like sausages.

Yes.

No - but Colin's new missus looks a right handful  (well surely she wouldn't let him use pics of other, hmm, ladies, as his avatar?)

[Captain Kernow]

Yes.

That may or may not be the correct or incorrect answer (or question). Well done, you may or may not have passed (or failed) the test (or garden party), as appropriate,

Phew, that's a relief!

[2ManySpams]

Are you around yet to restore order Rob, sir?

[gwrrob]

Are you around yet to restore order Rob, sir?

Yes just got back from counselling.

[gwrrob]

Well as can be gathered I spent the evening in the company of 2Manyspams [Chris] and gave him the free reign of ANTB.I hope you enjoy the results as much as I enjoyed his friendly,inspirational,helpful company.

 

All the rolling stock shewn here is used on Treneglos.All detailed to a high standard .Enjoy.

 

[Trains&armour]

You need more counselling...

[Mallard60022]

Colin, that picture of you doesn't have any lamps.

[colin penfold]

but it has lots of other illuminating features

[2ManySpams]

Unleash mayhem!

[2ManySpams]

Poor Tommy, he didn't understand the North Cornwall dialect. Such a fuss over nothing, but it looks like the Southern fireman is still slightly disgruntled and holding a grudge...well OK, a sledge hammer...

[Siberian Snooper]

Dear Mr York,

 

Can we please have dazed and confused rating, this thread goes in so many different directions in such a short space of time it's scrambling my poor old grey cells.

 

Yours
