Very nice!!! I think a fireman (if he fits) should be popped in there and Black and white put on the camera and replicate the classic Pic From the corris

A cracking looking loco, however what does she run like ? and is she from a larger class than the Corris no 4.

The loco is over scale for the loco, but then again the wrightscale corris is about 13.5mm scale :?

she runs fine! after a bit of a fettle. She will be on the my stand at stoneleigh for a closer look

i will certainly have a look, will you be offering this conversion or is it just a one off for yourself? Rob

If the interest is there I will offer the conversion. Doing them in batches will make the price of the job cheaper

That looks seriously fit Matt!

Looking forward to seeing her at the head of a Corris rake, and I reckon you're going to be a bit busy trying to keep up with orders! ;)

Gorgeous conversion. I'm sure there's a designer at Accucraft who would be really proud to see what you've done with this little loco.

That looks awesome mate, really done well with that.
Where did you get the brake cylinder from as I am after something similar for the fowler?

I was lucky enough to see this loco "in the flesh" today prior to it's public debut at Stoneleigh and I have to say that it is gorgeous!
The photo's hardly do it justice!

I got to see it in the flesh at the AGM, but in the general scrum forgot to ask, how much and how long? Rob
