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

I haven't done any pannier bashing myself today; it was more a case of assessing what titivations this little tribe needs to get them layout-worthy. 😉 

 

 

At least having them all on a tray like that makes disposal very easy. Very thoughtful of you Brinkers.

All parcelled up for you, my old friend 😉 

 

Although, on inspection, one large window 875x variant in war-time black with GWR emblazoned on its tanks appears to have made a bid for freedom… 

 

… the relevant authorities have been informed and a thorough search of the area is being conducted as we speak.

A heads up to any 7mm modellers of the production samples shewn of the Dapol AA15/19 toad.

No, no, no.

 

It's like a box of delicious chocolates.

 

Oh, Monsieur l'Ambassadeur, avec zez pannieres, you are spoiling us...

Hello everyone,

 

Here's a homegrown GWR project you might be interested in:

 

These cranes appeared all over the GWR system but you don't see them on people's layouts and I think that's because they have simply been too complicated to model - until now! The ever-improving quality of 3D printing means that we can make things like this now and I'm pleased to be able to share this one with you.

Seen in the latest Rapido newsletter are unpainted engineering samples of the B set.

Getting closer! 

 

By far the one RTR item I am really looking forward to getting hold of

[gwrrob]

Let's too have a filthy Friday with the newly rostered EFE bloater joining a siphon g in the parcels train.

Is it really normal to have that many 'engineering samples'?

Surprises me too. One per version/livery being produced, perhaps?

Some SR CCTs and PMVs for filthy Friday… 

 

 

 

Mixture of Parkside and Wrenn bodies: converted to P4 by Brian Pearce. Painted, lettered and weathered by myself. Many thanks to Ian Harrison for borrowing his lovely layout. 
 

Best wishes,

 

Nick

Lovely SR PMV's. @gwrrob the Bloater looks fantastic!

 

My humble offering is the Bachmann one, albeit repainted, re-lettered and converted to EM.

I am pleased to report that despite their best efforts, numerous prisoners models thought to be in the maturing box have been identified and placed in a Temporary Transition Facility. 

 

 

Several thought of making their bids for freedom by hiding amongst a Russian Southern detail. 

 

 

And have now been correctly placed back in the Temporary Transition Facility. 

 

 

Reports of the missing pannier and an accomplice, an Airfix 14xx, did reach the relevant authorities, who were conducting a thorough search of the local area (mostly sheds, sidings, junctions and spurs). 

 

 

After questioning, the pannier slipped when asked if it was a Hawksworth-era model...

 

 

Currently under close supervision... the 14xx remains at large.
