YouQuack said new builds which there was only a few shedded in that areaWhats a new build Castle then I don't understand.
-
What a splendid post David.Yes I will be doing an aircraft Castle but probably Fairey Battle to start with due to Hornby releasing one with a shortlived Hawksworth tender.All the NA Castles had Collett tenders post war so I can't do Spitfire,Hurricane or Beaufort with the new release.Incidently have you seen Spitfire near Saltern Cove in that Wild Swan book we have.
Another Earl as well oh go on then.

Hi Rob
You don't have many to choose from at Newton Abbot or Laira
What do you mean as my records show at least a dozen Castles between them post war.
-
By the way, is it true, the rumour that is, that Laira is to be given a new build Castle in the near future?
P
Yes if the supply problems get sorted. A Newton based one though perhaps.

An uncanny likeness our Agnes.Another lover of pearl necklaces too. A beautiful scene Mikkel.

Thanks Mike.What about this for a better colour match http://www.humbrol.com/shop/paints/aa0165-15-midnight-blue-gloss-14ml-enamel-paint/

They enjoyed the teacakes in the Station Buffet as well.

Not half as much as some saffron buns from Joseph Aulds corner store though.Meanwhile Tigley Junction is busy and would be a joy for a shed bunker today as 2884 class 3864 passes by with a train of empty cattle wagons destined for Ponsandane Sidings maybe for some broccoli traffic later.As the new Hornby 28xx release is delayed this will have to work much harder.
Those who regularly follow this thread may know what I'm thinking regarding another faded backscene in photo 1.
Can anyone help with a shirtbutton location in this thread please http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/73935-siphon-g-in-shirtbutton-livery/

Hope this helps to clarify matters?

I think they're currently staying at the Packhorse Inn till they find somewhere of their own but how come they're on the up platform then.

Having been to a traction engine etc rally today Mr Rob I have - at no expense spared - taken photographs of a number of Fordson tractors to illustrate clearly the colour differences for you as seen by the same camera. I shall pop them in here when I have a chance.
Thanks Mike and I'm still none the wiser on which Humbrol/Revell colour to use to correct it. The farmer is getting impatient as he wants it for Kingsbridge fair week.

Mike Roper, the porter can't believe his eyes after unloading the luggage from the 45xxs coach.Look who's sitting next to Zach Plunkett on the bench.One wonders what the conversation entailed but the Flora looks quite distressed.She might have heard the news that my City are playing their 'home' games in Northampton this season but then again maybe not.Either way its nice to see the Finching sisters home again.
I'm sure Mikkel or Mallard will have the answer.....

Sad news but possibly for the best as Devon is their true home and they had already decided their 'new friend' Margaret was far too bossy for their liking.

Arthur Snodgrass heard she took their milk off them and wasn't very fond of Yorkshire coal either.Are they catching the train back then.

make their long overdue return to the South Hams where they belong.
I have a sneaky feeling they will be back before you know it.

Apologies if I've shewn this before as I've just stumbled across it.Another thread mentioned a beach hut at Mudeford Quay going for 200k.These at Goodrington cost £220 to hire for the summer season.
Not keen on 7827 in black lined livery but a lovely line obviously aimed at tourists and not enthusiasts.Wish it still used semaphores instead of colour light signals.There's also a steam paddle steamer 'Kingswear Castle' in use now at Dartmouth.

Dear Mr Kohler, for the umpteenth time, that is not a Star chimney.
Thats not a totally recent photo of the Star so maybe the chimney will correct when released.

Mind the offside cab steps on 1368 Rob.
P
Well spotted young sir.They must have been bent out of shape by the portly driver who's been scoffing too many of Mr Aulds pasties. How are the Finching sisters doing in Grantham.

Although this is worrying and I have two on order I will reserve comment on them till I see one in the flesh.I like others thought it will/would be as good as the Castle as they already have the chassis.

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

My late father drove 5080 on one of those loco driving courses at Tyseley and I can still see the smile on his face when he'd finished.I'd do her too if she had a West Country connection.
Spitfire was originally called Clifford Castle and was built in 1938.
