Corrish Goes To Statfold 2024! Model trains & real trains!

This was a massive weekend, my first trip to Statfold Barn and my second outing with Corrish. I was extremely busy, so didn't film all of the layouts, so in this video you'll find a couple of high quality narrow gauge layouts on show (and Corrish!), plus footage of the railway running.
Cheers.

I loved the commentary for the American railroad, as an American. Thanks for this video!

Really glad to see Corris on display. I must thank it as it inspired me to do a layout that will be at an exhibition itself in August an achievement for me for sure!

That’s great to hear, I hope you enjoy your build, and let me know how you get on

One of the things I like about Statfold is the way it shows narrow gauge doing it’s thing, sharp corners and gradients shifting loads without fuss.

@GWilliamsonModels 3 ай бұрын

Yes that’s quite right, and they thrash the engines which is great fun

It was nice seeing Corrish.... even know I didn't know it was called Corrish until I asked 😂But was nice to talk to you and seeing Corrish in person also watching the progress of how Corrish was built was awesome to watch. Statfold Barn is also a brilliant venue and that weekend was my second time being there. Will be there later on this year for Warley at Statfold. Lovely video.

Yes, since the show I’ve ordered name badges for the layout, to help with that! Quite a few people were scanning their show booklets to see what the hell it was 😅 Great to meet you though, hopefully see you again

I can't afford to model or travel, so these vids are always wonderful to see! Great to see Corrish take its rightful place next to Talyllyn! Also, fwiw, your American accent had a tone of northern Appalachia in it, which makes sense as there are so many families with Welsh ancestry here

Thanks, I’ve actually got a bit of an interest in the Appalachian area, I used to play the fallout games all of the time 😅

This was my third visit to the Statforld Model Railway weekend. It was a really pleasant surprise to see Corrish there and made me realise how small and intricate the details and lining you carry out are. I am even more impressed with your work as the KZfaq videos do not portray the size.

It’s flattering that I’m able to say that’s a common comment when watchers of the channel see it in real life. I think I’m just used to it so I don’t notice it!

The show at Stafold, and Statfold itself is a brilliant place (probably no bias there from me) Sadly i didnt get chance to go round the full show and missed talking to you/seeing Corrish in person. I can highly recommend the enthusiast days if you're back this way (usually March/June) as theres double the number of engines in steam! Was the ride down on Isibutu shot from Sunday morning? Looks like me hanging out the cab side! Lovely engine to crew.

Correct, it was Sunday morning, but worked better on the video putting it first 😅 So it could well have been you!

Well George. I enjoyed the train ride. I was there for the 009 Society Exhibition last September and that too was my first visit. Having said that - I have heard about it many times as my brother, David Smith, is the archivist of the Hunslet blueprint archives there.

Looks like I missed a good'un .... Ho-hum! Corrish looked amazing and the idea of an exhibition "arrangement" with the good folks of the TRPS sounds very promising. Evil thought for the day: Wonder if real Dolgoch could handle the curves on the real Corris? 🤔

@GWilliamsonModels 3 ай бұрын

It was a great event, I’ll certainly be going back. I’ll assume so, since bogie stock managed it, but maybe we’ll never know!

@liamgough6520 3 ай бұрын

I have to ask, as a Sunday visitor - did you find Tom Rolt's whistle yet? Or is just a mystery that one day in a few years you may find it in a bush on Corris? On a less puzzling note it was great meeting you in real life.

@GWilliamsonModels 3 ай бұрын

I didn’t find it! As soon as I got home I put a new one on, so yes, it lives for eternity on Corrish somewhere 😅 Thankyou for spending the time to talk, always lovely meeting fans of the channel
