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

Someone with either a sense of humour or a death wish, has started a thread on 'Correct Sleeper Spacing'. Yea.

Q

 

A number of variables spring to mind.

 

Single or double,king size,divan..........tricky subject for sure. I can see why people would get excited.

Yes, but then, because there has been stuff on the market for years that is really designed for the US rather than the UK market, the size of Kings, Queens and Doubles is completely different from UK Bedding Practice. 

[Mallard60022]

I believe it is actually a cunning GCHQ/MI6 conspiracy and the 'Sleepers' are all being activated to deal with Vlad the Putitin. The French agent is conveniently named Duvet and the Scandanivian one is Eider and when she gets eliminated we will hear the message Eider down. Sad.

Italy has Pillo and he is on the case already.

Sheets of paper have been used in the prep of this project and staff have had to bottle up all the hot info (project Hot Bottle by the way).

GCHQ outpost 3 at Little Snoring is the main base for managing the project. Dreamworks have provided CGI images and Ian Somnia is looking after those.

Talking of conspiracy theories it has been brought to my attention that young spams hasn't been seen for three weeks.I hope he's alright and no one has upset him.

[Edwardian]

It goes back further, at least to the days of President Nixon and the Waterbed conspiracy.  

[colin penfold]

Someone told him that 2.33 mm times 9 axles times the number of spams he has is quite a significant shortfall and he self combusted in a final tribute to his favourite loco.

[Edwardian]

Possibly he accidentally visited the Peco Bullhead topic, and, before he could get out again, sheer disbelief caused his head to unscrew and clatter to the ground. 

 

(it did that to mine!)

[Mallard60022]

I thought it was when the Night Riviera is stabled in the sidings at Penzance. That is the correct sleeper spacing.

 

 

Ok, I'll get my coat...

BTW Rob, one of the best jokes to date mate.

A lot of talk recently on coaches and a previously shewn shot seen here of 4547 adding a through coach to the branch service.

[M.I.B]

The remaining 45XX in my neck of the woods was shuffled down to this neck of the woods in this timeframe. 

 

So Trackshack - please can you do a clearance price on Granges or Halls or 94XX?

I don't need another 45xx, I've just bought another 45xx.....  oops...

The Delia effect strikes again !

[Stubby47]

I ought to start getting them renumbered to those that were at Truro shed.  I think I've now got 4 Bacchy small prairies in GWR liveries, plus 2 in BR (1 early totem, 1 late), plus 2 late BR Airfix ones, plus a handful of panniers in GWR / BR guises, so I probably have enough for a little terminus station based in the 1960's on which I wanted to use some green diesels....  ( I know, don't ask...)

[gwrrob]

I'm getting seriously tempted by a wartime GWR liveried 4807 from Hatton's.....
