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

Know anyone who does a good deal on Photoshop Rob?

Isn't it now only available in subscription/cloud form - no disks being sold any more?

[Coach bogie]

H25 was the restaurant coach used in the cross country service to Liverpool but more importantly to me was the fact it definitely received double lined choc/cream livery post war.

 

They were designed specifically for cross country services and were one of the slimmist coaches on the western at only 8' 6" wide compared to the 9' norm for operating 'off system'.. All were drafted into war service (as were the wider, bow ended H33 version of the H25), and upon demob were top of the list for a refit (the WD removed the cooking ranges and replaced them with a Army Dixie range and coal bunker) and full repaint. They also worked to Manchester and Newcastle upon Tyne alternating with LMS and LNER stock.

 

Keep up the good work on Brent

Provided they are vacuum fitted etc then the answer is 'no'.  Freight brakevans were only required behind the wagons on a mixed train, Fruit Ds were tail traffic.

 

You've got me looking at my fruit d's Mike and the Dapol model is certainly lacking in the vacuum pipe department.

That's a nice looking vehicle though, is that straight out of the box Rob?

 

I believe your boys are on sky later, think I got the right team this time, lets hope the fame doesn't go to their heads and they blunt the blades

Ian,

 

That's true for the full version    However Photoshop Elements, which meets most needs is still available as a disk or download i.e. no monthly subscription.

Er yes, but which country would that be - China, England, or Somalia?

None of them. It was India. He actually told me it was him that selects what GWR name that Hornby model [Castle,Star,Grange & Hall] and stands by his choice of Wellington with the Hawksworth tender.He bluntly said he don't care for those who rename etc as long it's a right combination at a moment in time for an initial purchase.

Only if they were used on the east coast mainline.This thread gets put in a plethora of different places.It's just like Diesels in the Duchy here.

[gwrrob]

my guess for the Castle is 7038 The Bengali 5th Foot & Mouth Infantry Brigade

 

With a Hawksworth tender of course ,please.

[cary hill]

my guess for the Castle is 7038 The Bengali 5th Foot & Mouth Infantry Brigade

 

I would have said "2013th Hornby Regiment of Foot in the Mouth", although perhaps their performance in the field is about to improve.

I can't believe how quiet it's gone on here this week.I hoping to change that by the weekend.No clues

A sherman firefly IC composite of the British 11th Armoured Division, 23rd Hussars  Armoured Regt, scratchbuilt by myself. It's  loaded on a NE rectank, found on Ebay. I added some details and did some weathering.

Excellent.You're welcome to post some photos of it on here for us mere mortals to salivate over it.It looks the business to me.I'm sure,no I know , the US army would have used the Kingsbridge branch in the run up to D Day.

I used that excuse on Wencombe for the "new" platform being brick faced rather than stone and the size of the goods yard.
