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

Judging from the bulging frames I think that wagon need a visit to Swindon or St Blazey wagon shops for urgent repair. That big blobby tanky thing should just be able to push it into the cripples yard...

I think the duck needs help.....

You're not the first to say that...

[bgman]

Yes, it's the quiet contemplation of the loneliness of the little Telegraph Pole that looks so forlorn sat there. Poor thing feels really inferior to the bl##dy great tall one near by.

I want to adopt it and look after it.

Especially when it comes with extras eh! Mr. Bell

Definitely layout wagons these.Good from a yard away to a blind man on a galloping horse.

Unbelievably following that post of St Enoduc earlier I actually have one of those wagons on a Peco underframe.Spams will probably smack me one if I were to use it...

My old stock box of junk is a bit like Mr Benn's dressing up box from the 70s.

Nice. Are you sure you don't want another six?

 

Enodoc with two Os by the way (nothing to do with the Two Ronnies) - perhaps a subconscious conflation with the other Duck?

Fantastic stuff, looks so real.

Not everyone gets the Betjeman connection, John, nor knows of a church once so buried in sand that the vicar had to be lowered in via the roof to hold a service!

Splendid image of Valentina Ripyerknackersov, Latvia's highest grossing pole dancer. She is a regular at the Red Armies old comrades luncheon held in St Petersburg every August.

It is said she can crush walnuts with one squeeze of her thighs.

"Crushed nuts?"

 

"No, lumbago."

[Oldddudders]

Wouldn't that be Ripyerknackersova?

I fear a burst (excuse that word at this time of day) of Russian sounding names e.g Eva Vestoff.

I do hope nobody actually rises to such infantile behaviour on this mainly sensible thread.

They don't serve Dinner in Brent Community Hall.

 

And even if they did, I'm not sure that it's the kind of genteel society that this distinguished group is used to.

Nothing stays the same in the South Hams....

Hmm, looks like a sort of back-dated Dean goods.  Strange colour scheme too - black with 'love my smackers' in code on the tender.

At least the Russians know that you need properly trained & attired staff to take care of your valve gear....

Nothing infantile about that

Not the same challenge as tackling Dainton, Rattery and Hemerdon.
