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

No experience of the product, but they can be obtained direct from http://www.oldtimeworkshop.co.uk as I doubt Peco will be stocking once the transition is complete

Unfortunately Tavistock isn't on the sheet.

Rob have you used Trackside Designs for your Station Stuff? If not, have a look and any of the 'gang' that maybe hasn't heard of this superb little supplier (see my Customised stuff on SOSJ)

Anyway, I think CCT does special requests? maybe you could check for your van or make some arrangement with friends that are getting one/ already have sevral and get a new Sheet produced (share the costs)?

 Just back from Sunny South Hams   I've had a set of custom run in boards made up the only problem with them they are a bit on the shiny side otherwise they are OK.

Off to play with some new toys

I am imagining I'm in the Pack Horse, South Brent- have a virtual pint on me!

SWMBO spends a lot of time on Facebook , I find Facepint more rewarding.

 

By the way Dr Creasy owes me a pint.

Hi Robin,

 

Nice snaps of the new Hornby Toad. It does look good.

 

As an aside how does it compare with the Airfix/Bachmann AA13 conversion you have?

 

Cheers,

I finally bought 2 6 plank LNER open's I went for the Oxford ones with the view to renumbering them with the small letters they were on offer at Collett Models for £6.99 each a tad cheaper than a RPR Blue box one,

 once covered with a bit of weathering they should fit in with stock from other railway companies.

How about joining the Finching Sisters on the verandah for a G & T ?

What's the point of safe beer?????

[M.I.B]

 Beer which someone who is gluten intolerant can enjoy safely.

Understood - my comment was made tongue-in-cheek and not intended to be taken seriously. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
