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'll book the cabins if it can get up the River Dart

It shouldn't be a problem:

 

 

Is that the connecting boat train in the far background?

Has the fireman of 4870 missed his irons-- we know where they are!

Prepare to be shocked.................... and then take a cold bath. Proper job locomotive where I be shedded.

 

Here is a great picture of a grotty hut and a grotty bloke in a yellow jacket pretending he is not a Mugwump and that he is actually still standing.

Are you shocked? Do you feel insulted.....I hope not? Can you come to actually like such a machine? Would you go to see it in sunny Cornwall?

Be afraid; be very afraid: the naughty step is vacant.

Standards are slipping, Tigley shed haven't cleaned the small tanky thing yet..

Standards are slipping

My standard is quite sure footed and doesn't appear to slip at all.....

Not to denigrate Phil's shed place, but when ever I see FS, especially with those smoke deflectors and under wire, I have to wonder what all the fuss is about! Hope them 'lectrics' never come down along we!

I almost expected the first wagon behind 4870 - the wee tankie - to be lettered for "S.C.Ruffy"! (With apologies to Rev W. Awdry).

I think that part of the qualification to be a Brentnodder is that we're not all there.

[brianusa]

But we're all over the place and some of us have even been to S. Brent or have they dropped the South bit now? Some of us have even passed by in a train!

I'm not, I'm somewhere else.

A beautiful breezy but sunny morning in the South Hams sees an unidentified Star class take the down Ocean Mails to Plymouth.

Thanks (not) to Notwork Rail and it's not working signalling system yesterday I'm definitely not there although I did spend waste a couple of hours on Reading station finding out if I was ever likely to be able to get to Taunton in time to get something to eat the same night.  Anyway I trust those that are there duly enjoy themselves immensely and in the meanwhile I can think of all the money I'm saving (probably) and hang around here.

Thank you for getting straight to the point....

It being Sunday Dr Creasy is either attending to the booking clerk in the station again, or he has slipped out from SWMBO to watch the trains go by on a busy bank holiday weekend. I'd do the same !
