John,

As far as I have heard, there were no dandy wagons on the Corris - the
horses were walked down the road rather than riding the train.

I'm sure that RSG will be able to provide historical references for this.

There is a nice condition dandy wagon in the museum of the Porthmadog
branch of the Welsh Highland, or was when we were there a couple of
years ago - I believe that might have been on loan from the Ffestiniog.

for this event; but any assistance will be welcome. I do have a model
of the one in the Ffestiniog Museum and which though similar in
design, is bound to have differences. For the record, I model in 009
and am hoping to model a working (simulated) model of a horse drawn train.
