FURTHER landmarks in construction of Corris Railway’s new-build Falcon 0-4-2ST No. 10 have been achieved.
With the wheels and motion tested under compressed air at Alan Keef Ltd in late June, the volunteer-built trailing truck has now been fitted to the frames. The boiler (made in 2012) has also been trial fitted for the first time, revealing minor clearance issues which were quickly resolved. Attention is now focussing on the brake system with components made by volunteers being fitted at Keef’s.
