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...

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...

Hi Neil Look forward to meeting you - there are a few of us with homes in Aberllefenni so we may soon be neighbours. Are you planning to be a full-time...
Hello Richard, Yes we're planning to live in Aberllefenni full time (just try keeping us away) and yes once settled in I'd be happy to offer my model railway...
Neil, welcome to Aberllefenni. You will have to get used to having no terrestrial television, no mobile phone signal, a fourteen-mile round trip to the...
