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

That's Monty's 'double' don't you know old bean. He was practising for a film that was to be made shortly after the war.

I think he is actually thinking about his model railway layout (O Gauge 3 rail Marklin, liberated from Hitler's collection) to distract him from asking why the troops have not had their hair cut......

Must have been the photo of Hitler that came with Monty's double's layout, that he asked if she would like to come up and see sometime, that gave him/her the idea for the 'look'. 

Great band but not as good as Glen's outfit.

[Mallard60022]

Oh yuch.

[Mallard60022]

Nah he's OK 'cause MNs were not permitted in his area. However I suspect he is getting jealous........

P

[gwrrob]

Old Spams must be getting brassed off yet another GWR loco announced and not a Merchant Navvie in sight.   

He's laughing though because at least he has quality rtr coaches to run with his engines.

[cary hill]

Oh yuch.

Where's my sickbag?

Balloons and fireworks :-)

 

Do we get a special on the layout to celebrate?

[The Stationmaster]

It isn't right.  Sorry it's yucky (and by golly it really is) but there is an important word in that song - which might bring a smile to a few faces round here

[Mikkel]

And I've always tried to avoid a credit card...

 

So that's:

 

Hattons King

Hattons 58/14XX

Kernow 1361 class

Heljan 16XX 1366 class!

Bachmann 64XX

Heljan 47XX

 

All due by the close of 2016 (on paper!)

 

Argghh!

 

Cheers,

And now a Railmotor too.

Looks like I spoke too soon about saving my money. Kernow haven't got the details up on their website yet as I write this, but it must be possible to modify one of these to Edwardian days. Yipee :-)

[Siberian Snooper]

I hope they hurry up and pick me lottery numbers with all this much wanted GW motive power about to come on the market. Just needs some decent GW coaching stock to be announced.

[Mallard60022]

OK so how do we now have two versions of the Radial and still no decent additional Maunsell coaches? What's going on in the Trade world.....I give up.

[gwrrob]

Please bear with me as I need time to take in the news on the railmotor.This will be a beautiful model and I need to have a lie down.I have a photo of one entering Brent somewhere.What a great time to be a GWR modeller,if you don't want rtr coaches that is.

 

Photos of my goodies soon I promise.

[Captain Kernow]

Sorry to put a bit of a dampener on this otherwise jolly 'you'll never guess which GW loco has been announced at Warley in the last 5 minutes fest', but whilst I was busy not being at Warley this morning, I had occasion to go into the village to post some letters, and took a look at the site of the former signal box. Here are some photos of the sad and desolate scene:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At least the old London-end up platform retaining wall is still there:

 

 

[Mallard60022]

I can see a brick..........

You don't get it, do you? The railmotor announcement was made especially for you Rob, to celebrate 300 pages of ANTB :-)
