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

Nice signals..

 

Are they Ratio ones by any chance?

No, I did have some Ratio but was never happy with them.Those I have now were commissioned to Stephen Freeman (Borg Rail ) to build using MSE and Modelu parts.

I always found the Ratio one's fun to build. I just hope you used armoured gloves to install those Borg (Rail) ones - resistance is futile if you didn't

Nice rivets on the tender - shame the G, W and R are obscuring them

The observant regulars of this thread might notice something new at Tigley Junction.  More anon.

The tree has fallen over!!!!!!

[john dew]

I guess that was the builders clearing the wrong site for the rather splendid new shed!

[Phil Parker]

I dropped in to deliver a parcel, and couldn't resist snapping a quick photo of the station on my phone.

The tree has fallen over!!!!!!

 

That'll soon get replanted.

Back in December I shewed an interest in buying the shed from a widows estate being organised by Tony Wright. Well with one thing and another it's taken till today to get it to Tigley. It was built by Geoff Taylor. Only some minor surgery to my scenic's to get it to fit and will bed in nicely in the next few days. Mainly around the little hut and right hand edge needs attending. The tree will still be there afterwards.

Very nice.....

Those Borg signals have assimilated nicely...

 

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist that. I tried, but as someone else pointed out, resistance is futile.

Good to hear the tree will be OK and screening the view of passing locos. I was getting a bit worried.

I'm desperately in need of some postiche for some brambles too.

Seems a good swap!

What type of brambles are they.....?

I'm planning to go to Railex on the Sunday so we could arrange a swap then....

That's a lovely shed you've got there, Robin. Real craftsmanship by one of the best.

It will be great to meet you Kev. Quite a few on here go to that show.

Sherry and I are plotting attendance on the Sunday. Be very afraid.

Sorry I am going to miss you all this year due to being abroad

That almost sounds like one of CK's art critic's observations. Darling.

Best go on Saturday then...

When did you start wearing a blouse, skirt and high heels?

[colin penfold]

Well done Spams. I knew if I put it in the box, someone would head it in!
