Wrens CAN run very well - we had one at the recent Open Day and it ran like a dream, but that is very much an exception, I'm told.

Well, I contacted Peter Angus today regarding a Corris No. 3 but the likelihood of getting one seems to be quite remote
I can be added to his list of orders but the wait is at least three years!
I had thought that as these would be using more standard parts that they might be batch built but that doesn't appear to be the case.
I'll put my name down but I do wish there was more availability of smaller prototypes. Is there only 3 or 4 smaller manufacturers now? Wrightscale (hmm), TME (limited to two prototypes), Finescale (very long waiting lists) and Peter himself. Of those, they are all very small concerns where the owners are certainly not getting any younger. Oh to have the skills!!

Hi, I have just come across this post discussing the Corris No4 locomotive I manufacture. I would draw Sir Haydn who posts above to the instructions that come with the loco." In case of problems with your engine always contact the manufacturer in the first instance...." I have never had any contact with the gentleman therefore I regard his comments about my Corris No4 as unhelpful and unfair. Many of my customers enjoy my locos without problems, when these do occur and the owner contacts me as requested the engine is returned to me, repaired by me and sent back - AT NO COST to them. I support my locomotives throughout their use.
What gets on my wick is an "expert" taking charge of a loco from a novice when it is not running well and completely messing it up. After their pitiful attempts the mess they make is eventually left to me to sort out, expensively. Remember if a Wrightscale loco does'nt work contact me first. I will always listen and do what I can to get your model running as well as it looks! Regards, an aggrieved Wrightscale.

The only problem I've heard with Wrightscale locomotives is the extended waiting list, which says a lot for the demand for these locos. I've never managed to stay on a waiting list long enough to get one. I am waiting for one, but I am 63 years old. Here's hoping I eventually get one.workwright:111973 wrote:Hi, I have just come across this post discussing the Corris No4 locomotive I manufacture.
