Five79 kits aka The Corris Coaches
I have found been hunting for a kit that could be used to represent the coaches that are used on the Corris Railway. I wanted something that could be used to match with the new Tattoo locomotive and used with the Talyllyn outline stock. I had sold the original short bogie set to make room on the roster for these new carriages.
I was impressed by the quality of these kits and set about building them. There are some quite noticeable differences between these kits based on the Innisfail Tramway and those of the Corris Railway. My aim was to use them as a resemblance as they have a single doorway and two vestibules for passengers. I did not see the need to adapt the kits for my aims and I found the kits detailed enough to pass as older coaching stock.
I put the kits together fairly quickly and primed them with Humbrol primer.
The bogies for these kits are some of the best that I have built for a plastic kit. The wheels were free running and the couplers were easy to attach.
Both coaches have received their brown livery using GWR brown. The interiors need to be painted. To this end, I have some new paint on order to do these coaches justice.
