Building a Corris Slab Wagon for 009 Model Railway Layout
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- These are the final vehicles to be made for the Corris layout, which is nearing completion, and they're an icon of the prototype. This video shows how I make them up, including scratchbuild slate loads.
Cheers

Great job George. On the nail varnish I mean !!!!
Thanks! It’s difficult to find a colour to match the videos ;)
really enjoyed this series, I like these cameo models and you have really captured the atmosphere with this one
Thankyou Gary, it’s great that you see that, just need to make sure the quarry side has the same vibes
Beautiful modelling George.
Thankyou Julian, Thankyou for tuning in
Excellent as always. Looking forward to your next project.
Thankyou very much, I hope you’ll enjoy it!
Enjoyed the build, given me an idea for a small diorama, thanks.
Good to hear, best of luck with the build
Thanks.@@GWilliamsonModels
Thanks for a really superb series of vids. Re: Waggon numbers (always with 'double g' on the Corris). AFAIK, almost all slate waggons, incl. the trestles, were quarry owned. The brake van and coal waggons certainly had GW numbers, though can't recall seeing any photos showing waggon numbers in independant days.
Thankyou, yes I might go back and sort the wagons, for the Corris series, I’ve just used ‘freelance’ numbering, as it’s more of a Corris-style layout as a whole so I could fit it in an unrealistic space, however, the next series is a prototype replica so the numbering will be correct
@@GWilliamsonModelsif you decide to build a Falcon, have a close look at the blower pipe on photos of No.2. There's a pronounced kink over the front end of the saddle tank. It's one of those "how the hell did I manage to miss that" details you'll never unsee!! Some reckon the cab roofs (specifically a bead) and spectacle rims differentiate Nos 1 and 3, but I'll be damned if I can see it!
Incidentally, one source I have suggests that surviving No.3 is an amalgamation of Nos. 1 and 3, NOT all three, as No.2 was still being pressed into service in the mid 1920s, either until No.3's rebuild was completed, or No.4 got it's boiler issues sorted (new boiler after just 8 years?? ..... wonder if it was a Kerr Stuart 'warranty job', or has anyone has found an order number to confirm that?).
No.2 at least also featured a removable sloping upper back cab sheet. No.3's cab rear only became a stepped fixture after it's 1920's rebuild. Her driver really ought to have a long, drooping moustache (see loads of old photos).
Oh .... and foxgloves ..... oodles of foxgloves!!
@@howardrisby9621 brilliant, Thankyou for that, it’s funny how you miss something until it’s pointed out! I noticed this when I started volunteering on the TR, and got really up close to the engines!
Ah yes, fox gloves, I’ll have to try making these!
love the video now i wanna get some slab wagons for my 009
They’re a really interesting wagon to have in a train, so different to the standard open wagon or van
@@GWilliamsonModels i love interesting looking rolling stock
Great build. Of course they should have curly spoked wheels, it’s a shame dundas only provide discs now.
Yes it is a shame, the wheels make a big difference. I’m assuming it’s to do with supply?
Another fantastic build! You're not doing my urge to buy more Corris stock from Dundas any good... Chomping at the bit to see what becomes of the Bachmann "Sir Handel" in the next few months (assuming he releases on time). A proper Corris Falcon can't come a moment too soon in my opinion.
I'd like to thank you especially for showing off the technique of gluing a handle to the bottom of stock for easy painting. Tried that recently on a couple of OO gauge kits (destined to be lettered "NWR" 😉) and it worked a treat. Not sure I'm brave enough for the "baptism by black sludge" weathering trick yet though...!
Looking forward to future videos/projects!
Brilliant to hear! Yes I can’t wait for the falcon, no doubt fourdees will do a decent body for it.
Yes a few people have been on the fence trying the black bath, once you’ve had a go, it’s not so intimidating.
Best of luck with your adventure
👍🚂🚞👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi George, having only discovered your Great channel yesterday, i have wasted no time in watching your entire 009 series of videos.. what an absolute treat and delight.
I have recently sold off my OO gauge and was very tempted to dive into 009, especially as i still have a nice rainy day drawer full of Wills and Ratio kits. I must admit that i was quite hesitant about dipping my toe into the 009 scale as i thought i may really struggle with adjusting .. but with your amazing videos and very detailed explanations it has really boosted my confidence.
I aim to head off to my local modelling shop tomorrow and begin my new 009 adventures. So many wonderful welsh narrow gauge lines out there to be inspired by but my first thoughts were streamlined to Glynn valley, Tallylyn and Corris.
Can i please ask.. were the parkside kits fairly simple to build.
Having watched how you weather your rolling stock.. can i suggest perhaps using the Citadel washes from warhammer.. they do a black wash called Nuln oil and a very effective one called Agrax Earthshade .. i have used these for some years now and always achieved some good results with them.
I have also used Army Painter Warpaints quickshades, by recommending these i hope it would make the ink washing part of weathering easier for you.
Thank you so much for creating such brilliant video's and for making modelling 009 So much more appealing. I look forward to seeing future videos.
Take care, keep well and Happy Modelling 😉👍
Best wishes Dan
Hi there! Great to hear you’re enjoying the channel! Lots more where this has come from!
Yes, Dundas models are brilliant kits. The Corris and Talyllyn kits were orgionally ‘Rodney stenning’, but Dundas have now taken them on. They’re simply to build, as in you only really need very basic tools to hand. Just take you’re time and you’ll do a great job! If you do have any other questions, I’m always here to help
@GWilliamsonModels Thanks George greatly appreciated.
I have subscribed to your channel and will follow with great interest.
I am still not fully decided on which narrow gauge line to draw inspiration from .. May even dip my toe into the Skarloey Railway, having been a huge Thomas fan when I was a lad .. still kind of stuck with me. having a son also helps with keeping the interest going, not that I need any encouragement.
Anyways many thanks to you George and for your kind words of encouragement.
Happy Modelling 😉👍
@@WonderingModeller one thing I would say with the skarloey is if you have a go and don’t think you want to carry on, you’ll always find a buyer for the stock!
Are the Bachmann Thomas HO n30 slate cars even remotely realistic? Also what scale Model U figures do you use, 1/87 or 1/76? Thanks, because of your videos I have become addicted. 😊
The bachmann slate wagon are very nice, but I think you would want to weather them for realism!
The Modelu figures are 1/76 for 4mm scale, hope this helps!
This is really annoying, you are making me want to model the corris as well as the micro layout i am doing atm based in dinorwic. great video!
It’s an ideal prototype for smaller layouts due to the shorter wheelbase, and it doesn’t hurt that it’s so pretty!
Hello, just wondering if you know when the bachmann Sir Handel and the Fourdees Sir Haydn/Falcon is coming out please.
Many thanks, Jack
Hi Jack. I’ve heard sir Handel is due September/October time, but not sure on fourdees. I don’t think they’ve even said they will do a body, but I’d put money on them doing it
@@GWilliamsonModels thank you, if you don’t mind me asking, how do you know that Sir Handel will be released thus Autumn
@@jackminett768 I think I read it on one of their sellers website, tootally Thomas or something like that.
@@GWilliamsonModels Thanks, I’ll have to go look on that source then.
@@jackminett768 just followed this up Jack, it’s here www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/81023/58606-Bachmann-Thomas-and-Friends-Sir-Handel
so when will you build some corris coaches?
I won’t be for this project, but the next one starts in a couple of weeks and will be coaches-aplenty, so stay tuned for that
@@GWilliamsonModels intriguing.
Would a metal type finger nail file work for removing flashing, to avoid filing to much material off?
Yes, quite possibly, it’s usually very thin so doesn’t take much to remove it
