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

You can't blame 'em for that.

Well, there are rumours that Dyna and her mom Eta will be in the carriage behind having rather a racy time too

I guessed as much hence my carefully worded post. I don't know why I should worry about the rights and wrongs of 14xx when I am eagerly awaiting Kernows 1361 saddle tank. I will be amazed if there are any photos of them ever in North Wales

Having looked at dozens of photos of such machines over the past several years I regret to report that so far I have found none of them in North Wales, South Wales, on the North & West route, or on the Zumerset and Darset although they undoubtedly got close enough to touch the latter (and therefore might have got misrouted?).

 

But so what.  All we need is Mr DJ to extract his digit and get the factory on the job now that the final EPs and livery details have been approved.

Interesting pic of the dyno car. The tender in front does not look GWR, while the bloke leaning out of the leading window resembles a well-known German dictator!

It looks if they are under manned and they are wait for more crew to turn up assuming they will have to bump start the loco with that heavy old coach on the back.

Nothing to do with the weight of the coach, they'll probably have to push

it to stop the loco slipping, due to the traction tyres being made of Spam!

This might confuse you.

We won't be seeing much of Mr Warburton. He's been called up for the Lion's tour....

[Clearwater]

Bargain alert!

 

Given the Delia like powers of this thread, I was amazed to see M&S chocolate Thomases (as sighted at Brent only last Sunday) on the remainder shelf at the princely sun of £1.10.

 

Would have taken a pic but the staff were looking a bit oddly at me...

Further rumours abound that it's not only Mr. Baccy who is going to produce a Dynamometer Car as the NE region will not suit the requirements of a dyed in the wool GW chap.

Moves are afoot in the carriage works ......

A donor has come forward and may be willing to change its sides and ends in the first stage of this project

Looks rather good so far, are you planning an overlay with the new side or replacement?
