Review 139

Issue 139 - Published July 2024

This issue is a Corris Railway Special. We lead with original research which shines new light on the early history of the early Corris Tramroad. We also have an original 1890 specification for the Corris Railway Third-Class Falcon Carriage No.12 with original drawing. We include more Corris inspired modelling in oo9, 7mm, 1:48 and 1:32 scales. To lighten the mix we have Tom Mallard’s completed 7mm scale masterworks of the L&B locos and some archive material from the Arthur Koppel catalogue. We also include news of the forthcoming RTR Corris Loco N.3 in 7mm scale and a review of the Bachmann RTR NG7 Quarry Hunslet, plus the usual jottings and book reviews.
