Now that it seams a new steam loco is one the cards for a few year's
time, one can ask about livery policy.
Does the Corris have a policy on colours for locos? The public seems to
like a variety of bright colours, so should the next one be green, or
blue? Here in Louisiana, the Louisiana and Delta RR has a bright (some
mights ay garish!) livery of bright orange, with black and yellow
underframes...!

Realising that the society isn't a democracy, but my vote is to continue with the traditional Corris red-brown livery applied to No.7 I certainly understand...
Did the loco's carry this livery under GWR ownership? I quite fancy brunswick green with "shirt button" emblem. or perhaps BR Black with 'Ferret on a unicycle'...

There has always been a degree of doubt about the precise colour of paint applied to the Corris locos pre-1948. The only colour images that are known show them...
... A similar thing is shown on the Barry Railway where some colour images are extant. Not only did it fade from reddish to brown but it seems that over the...
... It depends who you believe. It's commonly believed in Tywyn that either 3 and/or 4 were painted in some sort of brown paint towards the end of their Corris...
On Thu, 03 Jan 2008 19:28:22 -0000 ... Thats why I asked if there was any original paint under any of the current paint on #3 any more or if it was all...
When 3 was repainted at Pendre in 1999/2000 for a photo charter - how tempus fugits! - we did find some traces of the Corris lining on the driving wheels and,...
Some years ago when No.3 was in "Sir Handel" guise some of the red paint flaked off a driving wheel to reveal a brown paint with yellow lining underneath,...
That sounds eminently sensible, Richard, well done! It would be nice to see the loco's in variant liveries from time to time - I always thought that the ...
... I always thought that the Falcons would look good in early BR lined black livery - the tattoo would certainly suit GWR green. ... Although I'm a...
Except that our locos-with-faces are called Hugh & Kerr (and if you haven't read Chris Awdry's "Hugh Goes Sliding" we have plenty of copies in stock !) Richard...
LOL. You say that though, but what about Peter Sam and Sir Handel? The Rev Awdry based them on the Corris loco's and if I recall correctly one of the original...
I think one can draw a very firm line between the Rev Awdry's work, inspiring generations of railway enthusiasts, and the sacrilege that has gone on since a...
Amen to that. I feel that the way Ms Alcroft hijacked the rights to the Rev W Awdry's works for her own greed was absolutely deplorable. Maybe heritage...
... That's a bit OTT surely? She bought the rights in a commercial transaction, although I'll grant you that Awdry probably had no idea just how commercial a...

Not sure that Britt Alcroft kept to the original stories. Was not the company still in charge when 'Thomas & the Magic Railroad' was made? Sent using...
I went to the premiere of "Thomas & The Magic Railroad" (which I believe was a box-office flop) and Ms Allcroft was indeed on the stage with some of the cast...
