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

Something red ,200mm long and has three letters on it's side....

Some kind of LMS machinery?

[Mikkel]

Have I missed something?

Yes, and so did I. Which means I now feel justified to spend 50 quid on something else, although I never intended to originally. So much for rational man.

[gwrrob]

 as that's more than three letters.....

 

So has my postman's sack.

I still don't understand what you lot are on about, and now I've got to go and make the tea.

Thanks.

 

I've made the tea now, and it was actually quite nice, if I say so myself.

 

But what was the red thing with LMS on the side of it?

How utterly vexatious. You must be most seriously displeased.

I did wonder how many they actually had,sorry Col.

 

[colin penfold]

The bad bit is that they were sold out on Thursday and must have added that one to the site afterwards. I could have understood better had they sold 6 at the same time and only had 5, but someone positively made that one available on the site when they should have known they didn't have it. Hey ho.

I had a massive lunch today, at the most convivial gathering of the Mid Devon Finescale Group, to which DRAG members were invited. Most commodious.

We visited our local garden centre today and it was an absolute madhouse.Why do they have Christmas when the shops are so busy.

Anything good in it Rob?

Mudmagnet's layout 'Oakley Green' for starters.

My copy arrived today and it seems quite interesting with a chat with Hornby's boss man.  Oh I think there's some sort of GWR layout in there judging by the pics but I doubt that would interest you young Spams.  But you never know as the article also contains a picture of a black engine with Southern written on the side, presumably the colour known as 'sunshine black' (or was it bootshine black?)

Or maybe not!

One of my favourite RMWeb layouts is in it.

 

Saltdean.

 

 

[Mikkel]

Jokes aside, it looks fantastic Rob. And Andy's photos are superb as usual.

 

Sunday morning, family still asleep, cup of nice strong coffee - and this. Bliss!

Yes but I don't actually mind as it gives a 'nod' to several Southern friends/followers on here,especially Graham Muz.It was the editor's [ben] choice with the photos and I was surprised none of Andy's shots of the overbridge were used.Hopefully he can post them on here in due course as there were a few superb shots taken from that angle.
