Interesting photo of one of the timber-bodied waggons. I am bidding for it so if anyone else wants to contribute please get in touch rather than bid against me...
Richard If this is of use to the railway I will contribute up to £5. Best wishes Richard ... Richard If this is of use to the railway I will contribute up to...
Thanks, Richard, but no-one bid against me so I got it for £1.99. Good photos of the waggons are fairly rare, and all the wooden ones fell to pieces on the TR...
Hi folks - I know this gets asked now and again, but has anyone any up-to-date info on whether it's possible for us overseas folk to join without a UK bank...
I guess I should have asked whether one can use the Paypal/credit card renewal button and then put in the comments section that this is a NEW membership. If...
The quick answer is yes, we can accept membership subs by PayPal. The webmaster comments as follows - "One job that has been on my list for absolutely ages,...
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?...
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'...
If my memory serves me correctly wasn't No3 painted in GWR livery at one time and No4 in Cambrian Black. If we wanted to get up to date could we get Virgin...

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...
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,...
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...
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 ...
