Following on from producing a series of kits of the Corris carriages and brake van for 7mm scale Iconic Rail will be adding a ready to run model “Falcon” to their range of products.
Pre-orders are being taken for the first batch with delivery due in a couple of months time. The model has a metal chassis and gearbox so should have plenty of weight beneath what is promised to be a well detailed plastic body. The cab will be that as carried by No. 10, rather than the one John Bate fitted to “Sir Haydn” at the Talyllyn. The livery will be as per No. 10, which should certainly be accurate as Iconic Rail is the work of Graham French who lined-out No. 10 earlier in 2024.
There is definitely the beginning of an upsurge in ready to run 7mm narrow gauge models. Lionheart has produced items based on the ubiquitous in all scales Lynton and Barnstaple and now Bachmann has entered the field with various Quarry Hunslets, waggons and some buildings. It’s good to see the Corris getting a look-in rather than some of the bigger concerns.
The Iconic “Falcon” can be seen at www.iconicrail.co.uk and orders for the model which will retail at £250 can be placed via sales@iconicrail.co.uk
Do you sell model trains for children to buy?
Thank you for your enquiry Ceinwen. We do sell all sorts of toys in our museum shop at Corris Station but not online. If you are able to pay a visit to our museum at some time then the shop managers on the day will be happy to show you around and let you browse the toys, books, colouring books etc. that may be suitable for the age of child concerned. I hope that helps.
