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

 There will be no nudist beach.

 

No worries - the Finchings are following up Donw's personal tip with regard to Strete Naturist Beach and have discovered that Western National service 93 will get them from Kingsbridge to Strete and back, although they don't like buses much.

This nice Regal would have done the job at one time.

Sorry...

It was a time for a change....

Perhaps the rough seat material irritates their delicate bottoms, as they are nude?

And in the nature of the game, some detail views:

There appears to be no provision for shunting rhino's!

[Captain Kernow]

I'm shocked that after a mere 24 hours absence from the site due to IT problems, I find that the discussion has degenerated into questions of nudity.

 

I'm now wondering if I was actually responsible for that, by referring to the occasion that the Finching sisters pinched the butcher's Cumberland sausage?

[Donw]

I am not sure if naturists travel to the beach au naturelle. Mind you it could liven up day excursions for the ticket collector!

I'm not responding to that as it might incriminate me and the piece would involve the word bloomers.

Quackers.

British Home Stores Dreadnought class bloomers might be best, iron-clad and capable of resisting all but the largest shells that the High Seas Fleet can throw at them.

[jcm@gwr]

What, even Conch shells?

[Mallard60022]

Dreadnought was a Jubilee (45718) and then 'reincarnated'  as a BB Warship I think? Well actually the Jubilee (and Warship?) ran at the same time until about 1964. Jub almost outlasted the Warships (sort of).

I thought Dreadnought was one of the Fury class. Built at Swindon in 1846/7 they were the first of a very long line of GWR 0-6-0s. However, it's possible that you might be thinking of the Bristol and Gloucester's 0-6-0T built in 1842 by Stothert and Slaughter using parts supplied by the Vulcan Foundry.

You know what, it's heartening to know that even conversations on the subjects of nudism, Cumberland sausages and heavy-duty underwear can be brought back to the straight and narrow by the dedicated regulars on this thread...

I wouldn't be knowing about such worthy machines as I only woke up in 1958.

Here is the Jubilee, Dreadnought, leaving Gloucester during the 1960 floods.

Thank goodness it's not yellow as we would have a chorus after 'There's a town where I was born....

I consider ANTB a rare glimpse into what really goes on in the mind of the British railway modeller. I hear Cambridge have 5 anthropologists working on it.

I'm putting you in charge over the weekend Colin so anything is possible including the Blue Pullman.

 

[Captain Kernow]

the Blue Pullman.

 

 

Mmmmmmmmmm...

[Mallard60022]

I'd like to see this replicated on ANTB

and this just for fun..look at those vans......

....and we'll have fun, fun, fun, now Robs taken the keys away etc. (Nude Beach Boys' lyrics for the uneducated).

Wow, those vans are something else. I see SR, LNER, GWR and BR types. Anyone see a Lame & Mechanically Suspect vehicle?
