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

Rob - are you taking photo requests for the weekend?

 

If so, what about the 72XX with some mixed freight please?

 

Or a Hall and vans

 

or any NPCCS

 

TY

Are the Wills one's any use to you Rob?.

Same as the Ratio one.I've rechecked the Skytrex one and it has an overall height of 66mm as shewn here.

I wonder if we could see if Mr Modelu might look at producing one if there is one to scan somewhere? Fine bits could be additional  parts added by the modeller and I'm sure that Fire Devil is 'universal'.

Thanks for all the continued 'likes' on my photos and as the pannier was popular here's 3796 again, this time arriving at Brent.

 

[gwrrob]

I promise to take some fresh photos but for tonight we have a Hall, Prairie and some horseboxes in one scene.

I really don't think all this talk of water columns is really helping those concerned with incontinence.  Just because its on topic for a change is no excuse such a lack of consideration!

 

Flush. Gurgle. Drip, drip. Splash.

 

I have the Mike's Models water columns, and never questioned their fidelity or quality - are they old hat these days, do either of the more recent offerings represent an improvement?

I've got a couple of Mike's Models ones as well, but will need more for the new layout - hence my interest.

So is that Skytrex one really 4 mm scale? I thought they only did 7 mm stuff?

A couple of horseboxes await for collection as they are needed for tomorrow's hunt meet.

Which was exactly what used to go on the Passenger Train Notice on the London Division - usually in relation to Heyford I seem to recollect.

A murky Autumn morning in the South Hams and The South Devon hunt is happening today.The Spooners and West Devon hunt are visiting and have organised three horseboxes to arrive mid morning at Brent station.Here we see them at Tigley Junction with 3796 doing the honours. I do like brown vehicles.

Back on the broad gauge - bit sunnier then than today

 

[cary hill]

The Dartmoor Hunt races out of South Brent and up to the Station to confront the Spooners crew and to tell them to keep to the West of the Clapper Bridge in future if they know what's good for them.

 

[gwrrob]

The humble pannier seems popular as we see 3796 arrive at Brent.I think it's time we had another quality rtr GWR vehicle. A siphon perhaps.

That bloke on the left side horse at the front smells like Mr Kitchener off the Archers ( reason why I can no longer even stay in the room when that's on for SWMBO) and yes I know it's only a radio soap but ########

Quackers.

Why has a 'passenger' train got a freight brakevan?  Interesting area this as horses were definitely passenger rated traffic so rightly should have a  passenger van although some undoubtedly finished yup on freight trip workings.

[M.I.B]

Surely empty horseboxes could attract a TOAD, especially if the TOAD needed relocating as well.

The hunt needed somewhere to put their Plymouth Gin for the Finching Sisters.Should I have used a K40 instead then.

The fox escapes towards Rattery as the Hunt wastes valuable time arguing about Toads and K40s.

Agree, but my first preference would be for an RTR GWR 00 full brake.

[gwrrob]

A few more as we see the pannier put the train into the cattle dock siding.Hopefully Hornby's Colletts sell well enough for them to consider a full brake to match.

Rob,

 

Over the past year my strong liking for tender engines, particularly Manors, Granges, Dukedogs & 43xx has been gradually replaced with a liking for Panniers and Prairies so as far as I am concerned you can keep 'em coming.

 

Regards,

 

Dave

[gwrrob]

Always happy to oblige.
