RMweb Premium MPR Posted October 5, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'm looking forward to returning to Corris to see No.10 - this is a lovely little line. Here's the one they made earlier... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium MPR Posted October 6, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2023 Four days earlier than my photo above, the original Corris locomotives were both in steam on the Talyllyn (12th July 2022). Its fascinating to see both the attention to detail of the new-builds and the tiny differences between them and the originals! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ColinK Posted October 6, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 6, 2023 Number 10 is a great little loco and a real credit to everyone who helped fund and build it. If you read the book about it (available from the Corris Railway) it explains how the design was tweaked to make it more practical eg for coaling, and how some parts were made by railway volunteers to keep the cost down. Myself and five friends hired the Corris Railway for a day recently (second time we’ve done it) and we all enjoyed it, including driving number 10 - appropriate as some of our little group had financially contributed towards it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted October 7, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2023 No.10 was in fine form today when I visited. First time seeing it in person. The weather couldn't have been better and it was thoroughly enjoyable! The driver was full of praise for the loco. He said that while No.7 is lovely to drive, No.10 is effortless. You just point her in a direction and off she goes 😄 Absolutely superb effort by all involved in the project, and I could not be happier to see both Corris types finally represented by the home fleet! 👍 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
