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

What exactly is the donor vehicle listed as 57' Hornby/Mainline please.

This (I think): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mainline-OO-37-109-LMS-57-1st-3rd-Corridor-Coach-3621-Crimson-/301935617428?hash=item464cc3e594:g:OIgAAOSwYmZXDqo~

  Also D94 3 compartment and D122 artic rebuild on my workbench using the Hornby Brake 3rd Body.

Good point, however, I have BSL left and right handed D94s, built for me in the days when I had money [glum face]!

 

I have an E128 for that matter, but one can never have too many brake composites!

[Edwardian]

Or Brake Vans (Full Brakes)!

Mike Stationmaster will approve of this Springside tail lamp loosely added to a brake third.

 

 

 

Glenn's splendid work again, no more white rooves here.

It's taken them a day to get from the barrow crossing at the east end to the west end of the platforms.... must be a typical Great Western Holiday Weekend!

Perhaps it's a Paddington to Penzance via Kingsbridge express?

Absolutely. A lot of thought and time goes into shewing these shots.

I only have the full brakes in maroon but I'd say the Colletts are better and I particularly like the battery boxes which correctly have daylight between them and the underframe.
