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

Coach, actually I think it's Superman, not the Daleks, you must be thinking of, because he's rendered defenceless by the Corbynite

[Edwardian]

Quite.

 

What you need, Coach, is this guy.

[Stubby47]

Surely Corbynite would be red, not green...

[Edwardian]

Good point, Stubby.  The green stuff must be Bennettite.

[Welchester]

Silent and deadly

Wasn't that developed by Bradley Hardacre at his Utterley Works?

Talking of a Corbynite out:

I went to Corby...it was closed.

[Mallard60022]

Quite.

Looks like they are off to the Eaton Rifles and Oxford Union (reunion) pig's head ceremony. Oink.

Mid morning all with 64XX at Llangollen on 4th November 2006......Nice and easy does it...

[Edwardian]

Captain Blackadder: "I then leapt on the opportunity to test you. I asked if he had been to one of the great universities, Oxford, Cambridge, or Hull"

 

Nurse Mary: "Well?"

 

Captain Bladder: "You failed to spot that only two of those are great universities"

 

Nurse Mary: "Swine!"

 

General Melchett: "That's right! Oxford's a complete dump!"

[Clearwater]

On Blackadder, Fry went to Cambridge whilst Atkinson was at Oxford...

[Trains&armour]

Nice....

 

 

Ooops. Wrong thread

[Edwardian]

And I thought that Captain Blackadder attended the University of Life.

 

Or am I confusing real life with something not real life?  Never quite sure.

 

Anyway, as everyone knows, the two greatest universities in the land are Cambridge and University College Wales, Aberystwyth, though I am sure that Hull is also excellent. 

[Mallard60022]

Nice....

So that's an O2.

 

 

Be more dog.

[Edwardian]

Can't see "O2" without hearing it spoken with a Sheffield accent.  Can't think why.

 

Great model.  Nicer in lined olive green, though (even nicer in Drummond livery, but I suspect I can whistle for that!).

[coachmann]

That polished cab opening surround and cab handrails need a coat of black. This embellishment looks so toylike along with the silver bands on the pump, and is a never-was except on one or two IOW draftees. Looks to me like a preservation thing. If the bands on the pump were polished, it is likely with were brass.

Preserved but looking very workaday so full marks to whoever owns it. Green roof?

[gwrrob]

A few tonight of my prototype photos taken at the SVR and Didcot.

 

I took Coachmanns advice of last week and used a tree to frame the engine here.

 

 

 

[coachmann]

Such a nice image Rob, just needs 'tweaking'.......Hope you don't mind....

 

 

[gwrrob]

Tweak away Larry, what did you do to it ?

[brianusa]

The photo of the Pannier at Llangollen looked almost authentically pre preservation. Lovely picture!  Also the changes that 'tweaking' can make  -  I seem to do it on a lot of my photos! 

 

Brian.

Tweak away Larry, what did you do to it ?

Lightened and sharpened it. Removed gremlins from sky area.
