☘️St Patrick’s Day at the pub! Liz and Margo witness the arrival of casks and bottles illicit fake ‘Irish’ stout from Colin’s dodgy brewery in the corner of the lambing shed on his brother’s farm. On St Paddy’s they love a depth charge of creamy stout in their gin and tonics. Local bounder and cad, Terry Tuttle-Thomas-Smythe negotiates the price, making sure he has a good cut for himself. Even Barry Bullhead, the time and motion man from the Ministry of Misery has appeared, and for a few pints is easily bribed to keep quiet. Pete & Dud trundle past with a rogue wagon of malting barley, which has somehow or other has gone missing from a train destined for Burton on Trent. They too are keen to negotiate a dodgy deal with Colin for a few casks of finest for the forthcoming Easter break next month. Colin meanwhile is looking at acquiring a flatbed truck for future orders, for what he can transport in his brother’s Landrover is rather limited.
The reality, a scene on my Brew Street layout in OO. It was built to use up items with no home collected over the years. The pub is the rear of a Skaledale model shop, Harris Timber is another ready to plonk resin building with home made sign. The extension of the pub is part of an Artitec kit. Wooden casks are from a model boat supplier. Liz and Margo are Peco figures painted by my wife. Terry Tuttle-Thomas-Smythe is on loan from Model Rail Editor George Dent, Colin, Barry, Pete & Dud are from the excellent Modelu 3D. Loco is Bachmann, grain hopper is a detailed up Dapol release. The Landrover is a partially repainted ECC liveried Oxford Diecast release. The coal is real coal, BBQ charcoal works just as well. Grass tufts are WWS.
