RMweb Premium Neil Posted August 21, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 21, 2012 Well if you're in Wales and the bank holiday weather is up to the usual unpredictable standard of the British summer then you might like to while away some time in Corris. Not only on the railway itself but also at the neighbouring school in the village where the annual Corris Model Railway Exhibition is held. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinWales Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Quite right John! Hope to be venturing south to Mid Wales sometime tommorrow (complete with Neil sized bakes!! ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium southern42 Posted August 26, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 26, 2012 Visited today in that rare thing called sunshine. Ray picked up a neat idea from way out east (courtesy of Loweston) for a fiddle yard / turntable affair which should sort out his space shortage on his new Southern (way out west) layout (YTBN ) while I was parting with some readdies for a 14xx for Great West Road. Great to see Corris again and some familiar as well as new faces. As the weather was so good we ventured up the track on the steam loco which had just had one of its coil springs repaired after a failure in the morning. Enjoyed the guided tour round the sheds and potted history of the locos. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenrithBeacon Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It's a great pity that this thread wasn't started until 21st August when I was in Porthmadog on holiday and therefore out of reach of the forum. If I'd known I'd have visited yesterday on the way home. Nice railway, the Corris. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards My apologies, I usually put a mention for the Corris Exhibition in a bit earlier, but this year I got caught out by the silent and inexorable creep of time.

Yes, it was an excellent day for painting the exterior. I did notice Ray eyeing up the portable scaffolding in the carriage shed with half a thought on the job-to-do...
