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

Can this be true? The young lady said that they were expected soon, but I was thinking February at the earliest?

Yes but I'm GWRROB remember and I get priority treatment.

CK, do you not know who Rob is? His infamy is spread across this wet and somewhat boggy land. Perhaps infamy can't get through SWAG borders...

And quite right too.

 

Would you like me to rush to the docks, find your 14XX from amongst the correct containers and deliver it to you by hand?

 

Remember you get a free brochure from the Haverfordwest and District Trouser Information Authority with every delivery.

The South Western Union has abolished border controls, so anyone can now slip through to the Noble Realm, and back again, as the case may be. It makes Dagworth's job that much harder, unfortunately, as he keeps his lonely vigil high up there on our Northern border in the Cotswolds.

Clearly I don't have any exclusive information..... But I wouldn't have thought they have even left China yet...

You could have got Hattons to dust it before posting...

ANTB followers get a sneak preview of a rare Airfix 14xx 1420.

 

 

[gwrrob]

Whilst we are in silly mode would anyone like to see 1420 run through Brent ?

[gwrrob]

Nice model of the SR Pillbox brake van by Bachmann.

Any chance of a close up Robin?

1848 is a lovely model by the way?

Only if attached to a lowmac carrying an old coach and a Toad brake.

1420 actually works then as it has moved in those photo's. I remember when that loco appeared and people almost fainted at the quality of the detail.

I've still got an Airfix Royal Scot and it looks the dog's diddleybits and it may have to be got out and admired. 

Rob, what's your Consultant's fee for scenic work 'cause that looks vg 

P

[gwrrob]

The scenic work is made easier by the quality that's available nowadays and of course the printed backscene.

 

 

[gwrrob]

A bit of quick research has found two 48xx at Newton in '46 in 4839 and 4866.These were for use on the Ashburton branch and highly unlikely to have been seen on the South Devon banks.

 

However, due to popular demand...

Plus a pair of Crimpolene stay dry trousers, compliments of the H & DTIA I believe !

 

 

You may have to model them at their annual fashion show though

That 14XX is very nice, but 'oh for two' of them ...

A final couple of 14xx shots for the weekend.I still haven't been swayed into ordering the new Hatton's model but lets see after its release.

 

 

[brianusa]

Some of these recent colour pictures have a faint 'alpen glow' which looks quite effective.
