Just seen the photographs of the work done on the carriage shed at the weekend. At last it's beginning to look like a building instead of a collection of...
Being some 2,000 miles from Corris (Cyprus!) I have enjoyed looking at the regular photo updates on the Corris website, and would like to thank all those...
I'd like to echo this comment, from New York. For those of us who can't get to the railway in person too often, its wonderful to see the progress in detail...
Richard, I have now finished scanning, and have had prints made, of the Corris photo's which I recently bought on the e-bay auctions. There are a total of five...
That's a point! Thanks for reminding me Steve, I still have five photo's here that need copying and sending off to the society. Paul Sherwood. timberlegs51...
... I will get back to you on that one - the Museum group is meeting next weekend and we will review the best place for them. ... This is C1007 in the...
This shows the horse-worked trackage in Corris Uchaf, including the turnout where the line to Abercwmmeiddaw Quarry diverges off to the right. It is a fairly...
I feel that I should say a big thank you to David Coleman and all the other contributors to the photo albums section of the website. I really feel "in touch"...
Just a quick message to say how much I enjoyed my couple of days working on the shed on Sat/Sun/Tues. It was only my second time at the line but everyone was...
You Must have met John Reynard whilst you were there, he's usually working the lathe or other machines. Smashing bloke! Usually got a cup of tea and a roll up...
Are drawings of coaches 21 and 22 likely to be available from the shop in the near future? Thought it would be worth asking before I go to the effort of...
I'd tend to agree that sales of models would not be high if solely relying on in-shop sales. Internet and mail-order, however, may produce more satisfactory...
I have checked with Andy Cooper, who is the head of our carriage building team, and currently the only drawings are for parts rather than the whole. If you...
Coaches and carriages, wagons and waggons - it is almost a different language to my usual haunts in the next valley to the north!! Anyway, thanks for the info...
Richard, Do you know where I can get a copy of the original Corris Railway Crest (garter?)in jpeg, or similar, format? This is the crest which looks like an...
Glorious weather on the Saturday, rain overnight, mostly dry but cloudy on the Sunday and Monday. Passenger loadings reflected this - best on the Monday,...
On 1st April 1859 the first horse-and-gravity train rolled down the Dulas valley to Machynlleth, so in just under two years time we have a major anniversary to...
On Thu, 10 May 2007 22:05:47 -0000 ... A sandwiches and gravity descent with guide of the whole route ? Even better would be the orders to permit the extension...
With celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the railway's foundation incorporating horse drawn trains and gravity trains, presumably there must have been...
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...
Thank you Richard for that information. It makes sense when one realises that the walk back was relatively short compared to the 13 mile journey from Blaenau...
From "Railway Through Talerddig" page 69 - "No evidence has yet emerged that the Corris ever operate 'dandy cars', as did the Festiniog, so it would appear...
Alan, Yes, Dandy wagons were used in other places as per the attached Drawing. Please don't ask me where I got it from! I don't know. John Mudd ... From: Alan...
I thought I had better say hello and introduce myself. I've been interested in railways and building models from a very early age, my current interests are...
