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 appears to have put that T9 in LNWR livery! ... what?, 'British Railways'?, no, never heard of such a thing.

Afternoon all. Just back from the trip down to Aylesbury Show with Rob. Turned out to be a ANTB meet up - Rob will post that grim photo later.

 

But first here's a picture to play Where's Wally with...

 

 

Here's a few more for Rob:

The colouring of the stonework on Sydney Gardens is spot on, almost identical to the real thing!

You can't have that one Rob - that's the Martin Finny kit and mine, all mine....

 

I can report to fellow ANTBers that Rob did spent a lot of time watching an O gauge T9 today and was seen trying to decide between a T9 and a Q1 on one trade stand. Mind you he couldn't fit any more stock in his man bag (I'll let him tell that story....)

[2ManySpams]

Didn't buy much but found z very nice new book. Recommended to others, particularly as it shows Spams running on the WR mainline...

Thanks to Chris for driving today but don't believe everything he says as I was much more distracted by the coaching stock on this layout especially the all brown coaches.

Blimey - makes me glad we went on Saturday My guest may have *marginally* reduced the average age... Spams will be pleased to hear his highlight was the " big bulleid with the White stickers on the front" on Sydney Gardens.

I'm impressed that they were doing Karate, signing up for a free NHS healthcare Check and ignoring the latest Hornby Train pack on the right, in the big box, behind the group.

It would be nice to put a face to a name in this group.

 

Brian.

[The Stationmaster]

The poster for karate was actually showing a bloke in a wheelchair so it is presumably for wheelchair karate  (yes, it does exist).

They're not going to sell much with their slogan 'FREE KARATE !!'

 

Does n't exactly roll off the tongue like the old 'HAI KARATE!!'

 

I mean, none of the prospective customers here look remotely interested.

 

The earlier ad is much more accurate in my opinion.

Perhaps I never splashed on a little too much...

I can do slightly better. Only the stripey shirt defeats me - is that Ed Cayton? And who has admitted to owning the rucksack under the table, eh?

So who's who? I recognise Robin and the Cpt, but having never met the others I'm at a loss I'm afraid.
