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

In addition to the blog referred to , I recall an article in the Modeller which squared off the rounded corners of the bunker . There were other mods , too .

My recall is of an interesting article , well illustrated which resulted in a subtly different model .

Hi Paul

I always thought they were the posh cabriolet versions.

Or something more niche like a Woden or Parkinson's Perfect?

 

To be honest I'm not precious, any of the above will do.

Posted by Rapido on their Facebook page, their forthcoming GWR mink V6 vans. I've ordered the top right version which is described as '42 condition.

Very nice indeed and interesting to see that the more obscure liveries have been catered for.

How long before someone repaints one into this?

We've had every "major" class as a new model, and some have had 3 or 4 iterations since the 80s, but the early 80s Hornby Saint is by far the oldest GW RTR out there.

 

I know there are calls for rare Victorian Broad gauge saddle tanks, but a Saint goes right through the liveries into BR........  come on someone - a new Saint in OO please.

[Neal Ball]

Broad Gauge Saddle tank.... maybe thats the exciting news from Hornby 🤣🤣

 

They realise TT120 is niche and wont appeal to RMWebbers, so they are launching a Broad gauge range 🤣

Only a cute little pannier will satisfy everyone!
