A rare glimpse of the Finchings at Brent in later years as they are photographed on the last day of train services at Brent (3/10/64):

Flora is instantly recognizable standing on the platform, as her neat fashion sense hasn't changed much since 1947, but it would seem that Minnie has let herself go and turned into a bit of a bag lady.

I spy a stench pipe; sad isn't it.

Didn't you go on holiday there last year, Bob?

I have to correct you there CK.

 

F T Fagos played right wing for F.C Porto for many years. Had a thunderous left foot, scoring many times over the years. Also renowned for his robust approaches from behind, catching many opposition forwards unawares. It was one such approach that ended the career of Phil McCrevice, the well known Celtic midfielder who was upended by Fagos one evening at Celtic Park in 1965.

The little roller supports for signal wires. A close up and some idea of the distance between each one would be really useful. Thanks for offering.

Hi Robin, looking great! I might be able to help out with the seat at some point, there is one outside the canteen at Didcot which I'll be able to 3D scan.  I was there on Monday but ran out of time unfortunately, but got lots of other useful stuff.

Great shots! Is the backscene behind the station actually the other side of the layout? It works well in thae last shot to give a sense of depth
