Hi everyone. In the last lot of photos on e-bay I managed to secure lots 10a 11 & 12. I was worried that previous bids by members would be exceeded in the last...
2008 sees the 125th anniversary of the start of passenger services on the Corris and April 2009 sees the 150th anniversary of the opening of the railway. Has...
David, I have bids on lots 2, 7, 11 and 12. There's probably not enough time to organise a bidding group for this set of photo's now so I will do the best that...
Depending on the level of "must-have-ness" about the item, a request for funds can be made to the Friends of the Corris Railway Museum, which has a fund...
It is rare that totally unknown Corris photos come up on e-bay - even more so for them to show some unique view that is not available elsewhere. The group sold...
... That is certainly not the case with all of them. ... Only if the auction ends at a convenient time and there are no distractions. I imagine that some...
Haven't seen this one before - anyone fancy bidding for it ? Unfortunately the dreaded joseph-cool is already after it. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...
Hi everybody, For what it's worth, here's an idea for when the shop re-opens. I'm a 009/Hoe model railway fan. There's not too much of it available,...
Hello everyone, Actually I think that OO9 track is exactly to scale for the 2ft 3ins gauge. It's too wide for 2ft and too narrow for 2ft 6ins! I've a vague...
I'm not entirely convinced that models are the way to go, after all most of the railways visitors are the general public who probably have no interest in...
Paul, I too like the idea of horses - pulling the early 4-wheelers perhaps? Perhaps one day we'll have a feeder branch to CAT (the original track bed is still...
Ah, but the CR doesn't necessarily need to keep it's own horses. They could be hired in on a seasonal basis, the old stables building at Maespoeth could be put...
Maybe horse hauled trains could be used as a feature of a gala. This could possibly consist of hauling the heritage waggons and a brake van uphill, and back to...
Mhmmm ... I suspect one might get negative reactions from some visitors fearing that the horses were being worked too hard. Of course, we know that they can...
Hi. Does anyone know who is doing/instaling the loco filler pipe from the tank to the wall? I need to get in touch with them kind of quick! Thanks Sam K. PS:...

On Fri, 16 Feb 2007 17:53:46 +0000 (GMT) ... If you want to sell models it is probably Ivor and Thomas that will make the difference not obscure narrow gauge...
... I'm pretty sure that, last time I looked, there were only four wheels under carriage number 20 ... As regards loading: one horse does just fine for a tram,...
Carriage 20 does not have a handbrake - any horse-hauled vehicles would need one. The Isle of Man does not come under HMRI and can therefore do things that may...
Board of Trade returns show that the Corris had a substantial passenger traffic before 1878; what the vehicles they travelled in looked like is uncertain -...
We do sell 009 model kits in the Museum - ones of Corris waggons and ones of Llwyngwern Station. Richard ... all most of the railways visitors are the general...
We have Corris postcards for sale in the Museum - what we need is for someone to take on the task of trying to persuade the shops in Machynlleth, Dolgellau...
... Apologies. When I was talking of a 4 wheeler, I meant to refer to the old 4 wheelers. You are quite correct that C20 has 4 wheels, being based upon an old...
Led by the intrepid Richard Saffery, assisted by wife Angela and Christine Britchford with contributions by yours truly, the coach- house was given a thorough...
As far as I know, the only recent example of passenger-carrying horse-hauled rail vehicles in Great Britain has been at Crich. We did touch base with them a...
Here is a picture of passenger horse haulage recently. Probably on Germany. http://www.feldbahn-ffm.de/Treffen/Bilder/14te/Galerie/DSC02931.jpg more great...
Hi Folks, Oh what fun! I didn't mean to start controversy (honestly), but it's been great fun seeing the growing reaction! What's that about a butterfly...
Good work all. I remember helping to repaint the main doors back in 1982 (?) - it was a surprisingly satisfying task and something that anyone can do. Sorry I...
