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 it has been super-detailed; note the separately fitted cab handrails!  (note also both horizontal and vertical rails by the side window, denoting a later series Hall). 

 

It could be a Bachmann Hall, in which case my guess would be that the One Not-So-Careful Owner became so fed up with the glare of the thick orange lining that he simply stripped the boiler casing right off as a precaution against further migraine attacks.

Quite bad enough, Rob, that you are threatening to whip yours out.  Cattle would be, apart from anything else, illegal. Coal would be, well, smutty?

 

A girl walked into a bar and asked the barman for a double entendre.

 

So he gave her one.

I have just picked up this stunner of a model described on the famous box shifter second hand website as a 'Bargain'. It only has a missing bogie and con rods etc, and all for less than a ton. Like the Crosti, it's a Railroad model so I cannot complain about no brakes and the pale green......   :whistle:

I tried to find a loco at the West Someset Railway yesterday afternoon but it was hiding from me behind the water tower !

Admittedly a difficult choice, bgman

Well the young lady would certainly get my blood up to pressure if she sat on my modelling bench ! And having camped about a quarter of a mile from Neuschwanstein castle and walked up the hill to see this magnificent building my breath was taken away too!

Choices, choices ? My clack valves are starting to work overtime !!!!! :))

I'll ask him next time I see him - at the Hitchin branch of the RCTS, assuming it is the same one.

I am sorry to have to report that the Stuart Sanders of my acquaintance passed away earlier this week after a heart attack.   RIP.
