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

BUT, The pictures above only show the Pannier's single side and only running bunker first :- is it still as pacific** if turned round ? ( ** No! I don't mean does it acquire a further six wheels !)

Yes definitely impossible to recreate today because, even you managed to cycle to the shop without being "car doored" en route, the model shop has changed a bit:

Robin's updated remake of "Brief Encounter ".This time relocated to South Devon and starring Geoge Clooney and Angelina Jolie.

 

:offtopic:

 

That could be an explosive encounter as Clooney's wife Amal and Angela Jolie are apparently already engaged in a cat fight over who is the world's most "glam" humanitarian.............zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I have been admiring your brown vehicles lately but Thomas won't be missed!

 

 

That's funny he's just left Cashmores. Just the silver paper remains.

I find these difficult to do as if you are static then the train goes by and appears in a bit of a blur.

but if you try and follow/pan the loco the sequence it ends up with the shakes.

When I did mine of the 48xx I ended up holding my breath to try and keep the camera steady hence the short video!!!

 

A few thoughts

Can your tripod swivel without sticking/jumping so you could use that to pan?

Have you tried moving the camera further away to give a deeper, wider view?

Slow the loco's down to a crawl so the eye can focus better.

 

The idea is great and look forward to seeing more.

I like these, makes one feel that bit closer to the action. The top one is excellent value for money, as if you wait by the lineside long enough near Brent, and identical train follows the first one, a relief service, perhaps? It did seem to be slowing a bit, perhaps it had caught the first one up and found that the Up Distant for Rattery was 'on'.
