Published and found at

After a meeting between representatives of the Corris Railway and Alan Keef Ltd at Lea near Ross-on-Wye on January 23rd, progress with the new Falcon steam locomotive should see it entering public service on the Corris Railway metals later this year.

At the time of the meeting one item being constructed was the coal bunker which will be inside the cab, which is adapted from the design carried by the original trio of Falcons on the Corris Railway, and loaded via a hinged section of the upper left cabside sheeting.

Donations can be made online via www.corris.co.uk or cheques, payable to Corris Railway, can be sent to Peter Guest, 38 Underwood Close, Callow Hill, Redditch, B97 5YS.
