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

Although I doubt that you'll want to replicate this one, Robin.

One of 'my' former 'boxes is preserved - if I had a quid for every time I'd visited it I could have retired even earlier.  The erstwhile Frome North now at Didcot under its original name

Rather like this one of Sir Nigel on the NYR.

 You only have today, to see this sight, as this is Sir Nigel Gresley's last day in traffic before withdrawal for a 3 year £600,000 overhaul.

I think they are mostly waiting for the doors of the Falmouth train to open so they can take their shopping home.

I've had a go but not brilliant shots and need more lighting.

I like the last one.

I like the last one.

A few more similar views.

A certain well known railway photographer of some years past would probably have cut down the tree to get a better view of the train!

[Mallard60022]

Sorry Rob. The third one is great...........................................otherwise..................................

However, you have a layout, it works, it has good things on it and it looks brilliant, so who am I to say owt about trees in the way.

That's just, well, unmentionable.

[coachmann]

Rob, the thing is to use the tree to frame your composition, not to allow it to impose onto your subject.  Branches hiding part of your loco or train simply doesn't work photographically.

A couple shewing the use of a Hornby Skaledale platelayer lineside hut.

 

 

[Mallard60022]

You're doing that on porpoise are you not.

As for that cake.....where would one bite slice first?

Good evening. 

Going on whilst we are 'going on' here.................well, on 29th August anyway.

To paraphrase my kids,

 

'That cake is pants!'

Well, I liked the shots of the train in the trees.

Morning all,

6412 at Buckfastleigh last week, sadly just after they turned down the steam heat that was escaping over the platform...

[coachmann]

Morning all, a feast of blood & custard Western Region style...... I'm not sure the carmine guttering is correct on the Auto Trailer (normally black).....

Good morning: images (37).jpg

Q

How do you know his name is Barry?

 

He looks a bit like an Archibald to me.

Nice photo, Rich.

 

I bet you took lots of photos and had your tape measure out as well?
