Better late than never, but the Dundas (Ex Rodney Stenning) Corris Brake Van kit I said I was going to put together last Christmas was finally assembled. This time though, for something a little different I had a go at making the box van variant using the supplied white metal vent hood pieces.
As far as some very basic internet research goes the van in this state appears to be very much in the realms of freelance, but that's certainly not a problem. Size wise it sits very comfortably with the 009 Society four wheel wagons, so I see it as a big plus.
Lined up on The Garden Railway, all three Corris vans I've built to date. From left to right we have: A blue 'Skarloey Railway' variant awaiting some replacement couplings, a 'Faux-Heywood' estate railway type with a bashed open door for the guard to lean out, and the new addition to the fleet. Turned out in a mix of grey colours, this one is very much intended to find a home on the ever progressing 'Corri-Llyn'.
