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

Wow! That is a peach!

An interesting livery combination here on 5072 Hurricane in having shirtbutton on the tender instead of G badge W. Correct though and what a beautiful model.

Just needs a crew, to enhance it further. Fantastic, beats tinned meat any day.

The shade of green on this model looks good, but it is tending towards olive green yet suits the orange lining.

Nice to see how good a GWR loco looks in Southern Maunsell green.

 

 

If only....

OT, which is not unusual!  How many head/tail end vans can be added to a local passenger, say about five coaches?  Does it matter which end, even both?

I don't think I've ever seen the branch freight leave from the west end of Brent so maybe I'm taking a bit of a liberty here shewing 4582 going on her way. More anon. The huts are from kits [Ratio and Mike's]

Question is, where are all these empty wagons going to?  Tavistock Junction for storage or scrapping; they must be getting on with all the predecessor railway names on them.  Were they dropped off at S.Brent or have they been stored somewhere on the Branch?

Yes Brian, they were at Kingsbridge for the fair week and are now going to TJ.

It's been a bit quiet on here recently but hopefully I'll have something new to shew soon.

Young Tommy Traddles looks worried, wartime black rather than GWR green perhaps.
