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

Yes, can't imagine why I've been overlooked.

  

I'll have you know the Railbus moved almost 9' using DCC control. Really don't understand why that's not enough for some folk. ;-p

But you're not bitter Chris.......

Congratulations to John C ( Checkrail) of this parish for making the shortlist for readers layout of the year for Stoke Courtenay. I was surprised Pencarrow didn't make the list.

 

Good gracious!  News to me - but very pleasing news. Have now found survey, which had escaped my notice so far.  Cheers Robin.

If I remember correctly,it was the late,great Ronnie Barker who said there's a difference from being the best and the most popular.

Is there a prize for loosing on both counts?

I'm not sure as MRJ can be a bit sporadic on its issue releases...

I was thinking of the Health and Efficiency ANTB special. You know, the one you grew a beard and had your racquet restrung for

But was there any track underneath it?

That photo looks almost life like, I had to do a double take. Good one Andy.

The thing I like is the brake van on the up train is nearly in focus and it must be over eight feet away.

I would love to, but I am already committed to my aunts 90th birthday bash on that day.

Bachmann 32=007 Dumbleton Hall in GWR green sounds promising.

 

I haven't had confirmation but it's looking like this model is as preserved on the SDR.

[brianusa]

Haven't been there in a while but it was there then so what's the hold up, apart from the usual reasons; money, time, labour, etc. It looks better than average for restoration; don't know what you can't see but it appears to be all there. Surely it would be better to have a go than let it deteriorate further. But there are enough Halls, I suppose!

Thanks for the heads up Rob, thanks to my lovely wife and a imminent birthday I'm off to Pendon to learn from the master. That's a proper bargain for a day's instruction not to mention the intimate access to Pendon.

900 pages Robin - well done!

You wouldn't be the first to do that on this thread.March is the fourth anniversary of starting this so 900 pages is rather incredible.

I was tempted after watching his focus stacking tutorial but I suspect the proper software costs as much as a Birdcage coach from Bachmann! Edited January 10, 2017 by Limpley Stoker

But although 4920 has lined cylinders it is not lined on the frames - so maybe the model won't be once they've finished their research?
