Sorry if you find me a pain but I have a couple of questions and thougth everyone on here are the right people to ask
So here i go-
1) Did locolines used to make corris coaches? If so does anyone have any pics?
2) Anyone have any ideas of how i could build a FR 'funkey' ?

Thanks in advance
Jack

Jack,

Re the FR Funkey DJB were going to produce a kit but it seems there's a problem with bogie castings (see http://www.djbengineering.co.uk/index2.html )

However Worsley Works produce a kit for the WHR Funkey (see http://www.worsleyworks.co.uk/Image-Pag ... Funky2.htm )

The two together: http://www.isengard.co.uk/images/JPEGS/ ... fon%20.jpg


I wonder if the problem with the DJB bogies can be overcome?

This is exactly the problem that I had. I wanted to build one of these but not being able to get bogie castings has put it off. I don't know if you have seen this but Stacey baker has built one here:http://wfvr.webs.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=3834916

All very good info. Thanks. What about the locolines kit and some Ip bogies?

Yes Locolines did the Corris coaches - I Emailed Roy a couple of months back about getting one.

He still had the artwork on his computer, dragged it out and printed me one!  (It's the reason I asked him if he'd do a Corris loco!!) Give him a shout, he's one of the most helpful traders out there.

Sorry but you'll have to give me a while to sort out some pics, but I'll post 'em up ASAP.

Edit: Sir Haydn, if you're reading this - I've kinda let the cat out of the bag The "parcel" that arrived was one of the Corris loco kits! It's my next project after the Tin Tabernacle's finished
"A (cheap) Return To Corris"
Loco & rake of coaches - all cardboard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(TOLD you it wasn't anything to get exited about!)

Here ya go........................

I actually have a special Corris coach kit - it's a dark maroon one instead of the usual coloured one, that I got cheap as it was Roy's experimental one. I did start making it, but ruined one of the side panels, and I put it off. I'll check if it's viable, and if you're interested in it, PM me.

Very Nice coach there. I may have to email about them. And if you don't find it rude me asking, how much was/were these kits?
(now i need to find a chassis for a corris loco )
