Re: Next Steam Locomotive for the Corris Rai lway

Correct up to a point - although the corrugated iron carriage shed at
Machynlleth was a fair size. The new shed at Maespoeth has been
designed so that its southern end (where the main doors are) will
appear as similar in appearance to the original carriage shed at
Corris as we can manage.

Hi Steve, I'm not sure what you mean by 'hung up' on making a replica Corris. I agree with your points about nos 5 & 6 and the carriage shed (how big was the...

Yes, the Thames was a related Kerr Stuart model: think of a Tattoo with a saddle tank in a square profile (if I'm remembering the right one). I'm a fairly...

Lawson's reply - Many thanks for your detailed response. I must confess that I hadn't thought about the relative power outputs of a Hunslet and a 'real' Corris...

Not sure where the idea of a "very short run" comes from - any loco constructed for the Corris needs to be able to tackle the two-and-a- half mile run from...

I take your point, Alan, but if we build a second loco over the same ten-year period that we built No.7, then it could be quite difficult to ensure that it was...

Thanks Richard, you are right of course about the Thames class. The class I was thinking about was the Darwin class, which is a Tattoo with square-profile...

"Superior" is actually a "Baretto" class loco. The "Huxley" class were quite a bit larger than the "Brazil" - the 1924 catalogue has them as 140 h.p. compared...
