Thought I'd show you a picture of the progress made so far on the Corris locomotive no 4.

Still a fair bit of detail to add (and also need to improve the texturing)

Cheers

Kevin

I have asked Kevin, and I shall be doing the reskins for both the BR black model of No.4 and also the GWR green liveried version. This along with the Corris and the Talyllyn models (not to mention the Thomas one) will make 5 new engines to play with!!!

Great looking model Kevin, but does she have stability problems with that boiler and tank carried so high up on a narrow set of axles?

Looking the part there. I was one of the party who painted it black so maybe a BR black version for the future?

Thanks for the comments.

As far as I know there are no stablility problems with this engine. (Pitley-falley and John know this engine better then myself and might like to comment).

I think Mr Pitley-Falley is going to attempt the Black version.

Cheers

Kevin

What black one?

I know the Corris was owned by BR for 1 year, but they were never colored in BR Livery, or were they?

Never painted either Gwr green or BR black however the TR did a what if? and painted it in both guises to see what it would look like.

No stability problems that I know about. The loco isnt really all that high, it just looks a bit top heavy. It has a very small boiler which makes everything look bigger, and this gives it one of its only faults (namley that the water dissapears in the glass PDQ) She also has a reputation for priming easily unlike something like No.1 where the injector will cut out before the boiler fills!

I note from the Corris web site that they are building a new "Tattoo" class loco, like No.4 May be some useful images there...
