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

Oi!!

(Nice coach by the way - either Bachmann have vastly improved theirs or it's a Comet kit??)

 

 

 

Double Oi!!

It's a 5yr old Bachmann coach, but I've 'coloured in' the window recesses with a dark brown Staedtler pen to hide the thickness of the plastic.

I bet you're glad the lamp irons are moulded on.......

It's the windows that really spoil the the Bachmann model and your pen trick has hidden this very well.

It works well on the Bachmann Colletts too- so you might get hung on one of these if you mention Malachite Green again.....

You were warned!

 

More colouring in, and the Staedtler pen, ( water soluble so you can wipe off mistakes with a moist finger )

 

If it the ink gets on the window edges it resembles the stains left by smokers!

I see Dapol's Talking Water Tower is also due at around the same time.....just the thing to enliven a remodelled Tigley Shed.

It's a beautifully proportioned, long lived example of fine Victorian engineering and a must have for any layout based in North Cornwall.

That's for your elders and betters to decide upon, Young Man.

 

You'll get proper good sorted out when the new post-Brexit Naughty Corner Complex is opened in a disused gravel pit near Reading, that's the truth an' no mistake there, Guv'nor.
