I have never understood the implication of Corris Railway no. 7 being a "replica". It's not a static display (although working Replicas like the one of Stephenson's Rocket are a thing) and it's not claiming the identity of no. 4, so really it's just a new-build that's built to the same design. It's taken on its own identity and it's a wonderful little locomotive.
I agree. But when I think "R eplica"steam locomotive, I half expect to hear him say that there is the frame of a VW beetle jammed under a fiberglass boiler.
I mean he’s not wrong. And if you paid close attention he actually did put the wood down in a specific way. He just did it quick enough to seem like it was hap hazard
peter sam is based on number 4 all the skarloey railway engines were based off of real narrow gauge locomotives duke was a ffestiniog tender engien mighty mac a ffestiniog double fairlie skarloey was based of a talyllyn and so on
I like the way you are working the throttle on that hill start, tells me you've been taught right Across the pond in the United States, I run a standard gauge 4-4-0, and you HAVE to pump the throttle to get a heavy train started
Thank you. Its lovely to see the Corris and No.7 again. If people are visiting the Talyllyn, it's not that far from it, and is really well worth seeing too. I wish the Corris every success and hope that one day, not too far in the future, they will be able to extend the line.
Fantastic stuff, some really wonderful angles & views. Loco 7 is an amazing achievement made by dedicated people. Look forward to seeing you back on the TR soon, Kes & Steve xx
Great video, I think its amazing the work that these small groups of people involved in running Britain's preserved railways do. Building of No 7 is testament to the engineering skills that are still alive and well in the UK.
I could see this loco being the subject of an RWS story where Peter Sam learns he has a "new" twin and he sees how much he's matured over the years when he observes the twin act like a child.
What a great narrow gauge railway that is and yes I found them to be a friendly bunch when we visited them 3 years ago, we will go again when we can loved it.
Looks a lovely locomotive and lovely narrow gauge railway. Credit to the person on the camera some of those shots of the train running through the valley were stunning.
I visited the Corris railway, had a superb tour of the workshops and saw the new carriage being built. Corris No. 7 is an absolute delight, on the return leg was offered a footplate ride too. The Dulas valley is gorgeous. If you have any interest in railways, engineering or narrow gauge I would wholeheartedly recommend a visit as it is a total joy.
I just had a friend telling me he had a lil chat with you at the mid suffolk today, goddamn i want to go see trains, so many beautiful places to visit. Here's to a life after covid!
@@lmm As a small boy the local council re-tarred the road in front of my house. I spent hours sitting out front watching the steam roller going up and down the street, eventually I was picked up and sat on top of the coal box to ride the monster, I got home wet, black with coal dust and soot and super excited! Mum was not happy but a hot bath and dinner I was in the clear! Was the late 60s, probably the last era of the steam rollers, something I will never forget!
Very nice looking and running loco. I didn't hear any slipping on the wet rails (unless you edited it out!) so very nicely driven as well. It is not often pointed out on videos that steam (and other fluids) valves should not be left hard open, so that was an important reminder to everyone. I could see that you were (like me) enthusiastic about metric sized fasteners, so I was quite surprised to see the pressure gauges in pounds per square inch- How quaint!. Notwithstanding that minor point, the society should be proud of their achievements on the line, loco and rolling stock.
Love your railway videos Lawrie, only just finished watching this having been distracted by other videos in my watch later list 🙄 Corris is a line that is high on my to-visit list & this video shows off both the beauty of No.7 & the scenery of the Corris 👍🏼 thank you once again
Ya know, I never had much interest in British steam (Or British rail history in general) until I found this channel last year. Just wanted to let you know you changed my outlook on British rail.
Lovely video. Nice to meet you the other week. I was the driver of this loco last Sunday and had a wonderful day. Next time please try the third notch a bit more as I find it goes ever so well at line speed in that! I'd like to turn the reverser handle round so the catch you push with the palm of your hand, less clunky also. 😁😉. Many thanks. Take care.
watching him prep, cleaning out the firebox and smoke box after ive just done the same on a German ww1 Brigadelok, i appreciated the low down and easy to clean smokebox of the german machine XD
Lovely video Lawrie, another railway added to my bucket list when i come to the uk some day. Now slightly stressful because on sunday it wil be the first time that i fire Fred at the maldegem steam railway. But i am happy we can opperate again. So keep up the nice work man!
I have learnt so much from this - really appreciate the fine detail of whats what as you did your start up, but I hope you put the 24mil spanner back in the right place in the toolbox before you moved off.
Actually, 2 Kerr Stuart Tatoo's (open cab variant) are preserved on a South American plantation railway. They are static exhibits though, and they need some TLC.
@@the4tierbridgeif someone ran them again it would most likely be someone who takes them to wales, and its not exactly known to be sunny and warm there most of the time, there's areason the cabless was basically the "export version"
@@the_retag The cabless version was the standard specification. The original Corris loco was a 'Tattoo Special' because it had inside frames and a full cab. 'Tattoo' was the name of the (standard) model class and the Corris loco had to have inside frames to make it narrow enough to fit the railways loading gauge. The loco is only just over five feet wide.
Another fantastic video and one of my favourite Welsh railways. It's great to see the Corris Railway making such wonderful progress. I must visit soon.
How extraordinary! It's quite mind boggling how well engineered the regulator is. I have two points; at least in Tom Rolt's day, Edward Thomas was sans running board as well (I do not know when she was given a running board by TR); second, perhaps it's an error on my part but I thought No. 7's unofficial name was "Tatoo." I know it's the class locomotive but I couldn't sworn that was the name (or at least nicknamed) bequeathed to No. 7
Brilliant! Your best yet. If you keep going the way you are then you will certainly get a BBC 4 series sometime soon. Let’s all hope so 🤞I’m routing for you.....
I think is wonderful that groups are building new locomotives of a past era. Here in the states a group called the T1 trust is building a new Pennsylvania T1 duplex locomotive numbered 5550
An interesting fact is that during the great war when coal was very scarce the Corris navy found they could fire their destroyer with slate. Apparently it's all in the way you stack it allows combustion.If you wanthe to read about it call in the Corris Naval Institute for the full history .!
Notification popped up as I was driving to watch this . All I saw was the engine shape and was like I bet that's Corris glad I know my little engines 😊
I also like Corris No.5 behind No.7 in the beginning. I play train sim so I have "Driven" No.5 and 7. That would be so cool if you could also do a review on it sometime, for some reason a small engine with a clutch and a gear shift is just different and cool
wow, that bark on startup! finally, a UK NG locomotive with a good exhaust beat. (I'm keenly aware I'm going to get flak for saying that. I should explain that my baseline is rather skewed: my first steam experience was on the Cumbres and Toltec scenic railroad here in the US. you haven't heard steam at work until you've listened to two K-36s lifting 15 cars up out of the Narrows out of Chama on the 1 in 25. in comparison to that, sometimes there's engines that just sound like garden railway live steamers. at least to me).
You were explaining that this Lovely Engine is Metric. I used to Operate a 1950's Margarine Packaging Machine a BDR (Broderick Dolman & Rogers) it was the last one in the UK sadly scrapped in 2019. It was Imperial, it had Whitworth and BA. An Engineer tried to Metricise it, Metric always seemed to come loose.
Nice that they're not trying to fake the replacement of previous equipment, rather, sort of ignoring the little gap in time and going on like business as usual. New equipment, new numbers. It's flipping the bird to time and circumstance - We're back.
Honestly . I love the tattoo class of steam engine . Probably cuz from the tv show Peter sam was my favourite and ever since realrizing he exists in real life in wales . Heck 2 of him only half hour away from one another . Tho the worst thing is when I came to wales too see talylln and it’s railway . I missed no4 by a single day . And in her new grey too 😢 And corris 7 I couldn’t see other cuz I had to time left by the time the talylln event at awdery extravaganza 4 ended it was time to go . Tho I do own mini no4 as a resin kit from fourdees and painted that kit when she was in her green livery . And I do hope to get some other of the tattoo class of a corris version hopefully in red . And a second no4 in the new grey And a Bachman 009 PeterSam . Yes I may have N scale but I love him to much to not have a mini model of what I saw on screen . I may just get some slate wagons to go with him . And I mean I may have not seen my favourite engine EVER I did see corris 10 and talylln 3 so I didn’t get to see any of the tattoos tho I did see both falcons . And midlander also Yeah I love narrow gauge . Tho i did see her special funnel at warf … on display in the museum . And the revrends original PeterSam model … or Stuart for his mid sodor . And I mean yeah I never saw the real no4 on talylln nor did I see corris no7 . HOWEVER I did see her geezel funnel and the minature PeterSam/Stuart from the reverend himself . But oh well . Next year I may see her in person . And I may bring my 009 PeterSam to see his full sized overlord . And my kit no4 . Yeah Ok bye
I know some other "new" steam locos running in continental europe. One is at "molli" on the baltic sea (built by db meiningen steam works) and the others are a whole class, running in the alps up rack railways (built by dlm winterthur, the successor of the steam part of slm). Dlm also heavily modified and modernised a class 52, which occasionally runs and is almost like a new one.
I love hearing about where certain parts on rebuilt or new made trains come from cause there is always one part that couldn’t be found so they came to Australia saw a rusty vehicle and there sat the part that was need so they took reworked and added it to the engine
One thing I've always been curious about, being an 'armchair' engineer you might say, is why do you rock the regulator back and forth so much during starting? I appreciate there may be slack in an older engine but as you said, this engine's regulator is nigh flawless.
Because it was trying it's hardest to slip. Putting enough in the cylinder to get the thing to move, and leaving it would overcome the limited grip I had. So it's just feeling the engine, and giving it enough steam to start moving, but not too much for it to want to slip.
My dog is cross with you. I turned on this video and with your enthusiastic commentary I couldn't pause it to go and feed her until it finished. But there is more. The only time I saw a fireman was when you arrived at Corris. Now this must be one very special steam engine that can run all this way without needing stoking. Of course there is one final question, coming from hot, dry Australia. What is the source of that strange water that SEEMED to be coming from above the engine the whole time. It almost looked like it was falling from the sky but everyone knows that doesn't happen.

I know right?
It still doesn't have a decent bark though, compared with other locos like Edward Thomas
47:46 this looks like an illustration pulled straight from an Awdry story. Corris really must be a magical place to visit.
I'm guessing the r word was rheneas
The Corris Railway was the basis for the Mid Sodor Railway, so that's probably why
In fact, I’d like to know the real-life events that inspired Awdry’s RWS stories on the Skarloey and Mid-Sodor
@@HeavyTanker-vx4oq Peter Sam's drain pipe might have been based on the similar event that happened on the Corris railway
That’s because the Welsh Countryside was the inspiration and basis for the scenery and industries of Sodor itself.
I would just call it and the upcoming “Falcon” Class 0-4-2ST locomotive what they really are. A pair of newbuilds.
I feel like I'm looking at Peter Sam and Skarloey. Love it! They are sharp looking locomotives.

@@christopherericjustinuy1552 No? Peter Sam is a Kerr Stuart Tattoo class, Edward Thomas is one of the few Surviving Kerr Stuart Tattoo Locomotives
The design of the smokebox door is very American, love it! Steam locomotives built in the 21st century are truly something to behold.
At this rate Lawrie's gonna cover all the locomotives on the Tallylynn and Corris Railways
I hope so
I fail to see how this is a bad thing
Hey don't forget Fairebourne or does this not class as a proper railfordd
It would be great if he did a loco test on the Snowdon Mountain Railway as well.
It's gonna be a year or two before he can get Tallylynn her self. As she's in for a rebuild
Corris is lovely little railway I like the story of £25 locos and anything else that was useful to Talyllyn
41:25 looks like something straight out of season 4 of Thomas and Friends. Gorgeous shots for a gorgeous engine on a gorgeous railway
It's such a lovely railway.
I like the way you are working the throttle on that hill start, tells me you've been taught right
Across the pond in the United States, I run a standard gauge 4-4-0, and you HAVE to pump the throttle to get a heavy train started
Let's hope you will return to drive no.10 in a few years!
Thank you. Its lovely to see the Corris and No.7 again. If people are visiting the Talyllyn, it's not that far from it, and is really well worth seeing too. I wish the Corris every success and hope that one day, not too far in the future, they will be able to extend the line.

My dog is cross with you. I turned on this video and with your enthusiastic commentary I couldn't pause it to go and feed her until it finished. But there is more. The only time I saw a fireman was when you arrived at Corris. Now this must be one very special steam engine that can run all this way without needing stoking.
Of course there is one final question, coming from hot, dry Australia. What is the source of that strange water that SEEMED to be coming from above the engine the whole time. It almost looked like it was falling from the sky but everyone knows that doesn't happen.
😂 😂 Sorry to your dog!
She's a good little engine, put a good fire in her and she'll get up to Corris without any issues.
Oh, that's Welsh sunshine!
