The latest Corris-pondent gives a summary of the current loco and rolling situation (very useful for modelling types like myself). One query - some years ago...
This was a 2'6" gauge 1940 Hunslet bought from RNAD Broughton Moor which proved unsuitable for re-gauging and was sold on to someone on the Isle of Wight. As...
I recently bought a 1980 Journal and would like to have the information from other early journals Is there any interest in producing a compendium of the old...
On Tue, 03 Jul 2007 15:10:33 -0000 ... Probably a lot more sensible to sell the CD than print journals on demand I would have thought. Would still need someone...
What we have done in the past for Journals that are out of print (I have some of the early ones in unmade, ie. separate pages, in Aberllefenni, which can be...
Presumably the writers have assigned copyright over to the Society when writing for the Journals? Otherwise, technically you'd have to find each author and get...
... How sure are you about the date of the photograph of "Locomotive No.5 Alan Meaden on a short construction train in the late 1970s"? It's just that it looks...
Hi Ian, I took that photo. I had placed it in summer of 1979, but it could be 1980. I'm pretty sure however that it isn't you driving. I believe it is a guy ...
Dan - It might be Vince Roberts in the cab and me in the skip, but I can't be 100% sure of either - do you have any more photos from the same occasion that...
Vince Roberts, that's his name, thanks Richard. I'm pretty sure its Vince driving and you on the skip. The line at the time stretched nearly to the triangle PW...

I have been trying to work out from photos whether 4 (and 3) acquired anything more in the way of 'Westernising' prior to 1948 other than GWR style lamp...
I think both locos paid visits to Swindon, but I would have to check my copy of the loco logs to see what the work there involved. Certainly they were left...
John Bate has mentioned in the past that 3 went to Swindon for some sort of work around 1929/30 I think, but nothing I've heard so far explains why they went...
I visited Corris on Saturday with 28 children, 16 adults and a baby in tow - so we needed half a service train and a special. Everyone one enjoyed it,...
Glad you had a good time, Ian. I have passed on your message to those on duty. I think the fact that we have a relatively limited number of passengers gives us...
Further to my previous contributions I can report that No. 4 has recently reacquired GWR type lamp irons and a GWR style headlamp to go with them. There are...
