Double Falcons in the Dulas Valley - Corris Railway Photo Charter 2024
The Corris Railway Falcons Ride Again!
Friday 14th June 2024
A David Williams photo charter on the Corris Railway ahead of their 2024 Steam Gala saw a sight not seen for at least 100 years of two Falcon design steam locomotives in steam together at Corris. This was in the form of original Corris Railway Nol. 3, now named Sir Haydn a Hughes Falcon 0-4-2ST of 1878, joined by the new build, built at Alen Keef with worksplates reading 2022 (although arrived on the railway on 30th August 2023), No. 11.
During the day cameos and shed scenes were staged at Maespoeth Junction, including two and three engine line ups outside the original engine shed, with run pasts on a mixture of short goods and mixed trains on the scenic short current line to Corris, with arrival shots at Corris.
Completing the line up, but not in steam, was Corris Railway Tattoo class No. 7, built 2005 in line ups outside the Maespoeth engine shed.
We conclude with a look at the new extension and deviation works, with the railway putting in a new embankment on a slight deviation from the original formation of the railway towards Machynlleth. In the headshunt at the end of the current line was Vlad, Orenstein & Koppel 0-4-0DH 25721 of 1957, purchased in 2015 from Austria, rewired, regauged and repainted in Romania in May 2015.

  • @howardrisby9621
    @howardrisby9621 Před 3 dny

    Has the Corris ever before witnessed three locos in steam? I suspect that's a totally unprecedented sight. Now this is going to sound completely bonkers, but on that mixed working in the opening scene, No.10's exhaust sounded ...... happy!! I know all eyes are (quite understandably) on the sight unseen in a century of two Falcons in steam, but I have to say your C&W Dept have done the railway proud. As evidenced from any number of old photos, those goods and mixed workings really are authentically redolent of the line during it's working life. Big thanks to the folks around the coast for letting No.3 out to play, especially before No.4 comes home. This clip captures the atmosphere so very well. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    • @preservedrailway
      @preservedrailway Před 3 dny

      Its not believe there was three in steam before yesterday... (and they believe two in steam wouldn't of been a regular occurrence historically)

    • @howardrisby9621
      @howardrisby9621 Před 3 dny

      ​@@preservedrailwaythere's an old photo of two Falcons, chimney first on the original (timber trestle) Pont Dyfi, on a train consisting of seven bogies plus brake van. That puts it between 1898 (when IIRC the MCW carriages 7 and 8 were delivered) and 1907, when the bridge was replaced. It's clearly a very deliberately posed shot, but given how rigorously the old company tried to keep trains to the shortest possible length, it had to have been a market day, a nearby Eisteddfod, or a fair day in Machynlleth. Was the (ECS) train pulled forward for the shot, before reversing back to Mach (Ooh .... there might be a song there!), or boogying back up the valley to collect the next load?

  • @GarethJonesPilipala

    That was a really great video that captured the ‘spirit’ of the Corris Railway perfectly. I’m always surprised that all the Welsh narrow gauge lines have a very different atmosphere to them, ranging from the very professional Ffestiniog to the really rural atmosphere of the Corris.
