Editing Corris Railway (section)

=== Historic ===
The CM&RDT carried passengers from as early as 1860, despite this being explicitly prohibited by its authorising Act. Until 1874, passengers travelled in open waggons attached to the quarry trains. From October 1874, the railway ran separate, timetabled passenger trains. Around 1875, at least two wagons were converted to crude, almost windowless closed carriages.<ref name=early-passenger>{{cite journal |journal=[[Narrow Gauge and Industrial Railway Modelling Review]] |first=Dan |last=Quine |author-link=Dan Quine |title=Early Corris Railway passenger trains |date=April 2020 |issue=122}}</ref>

In November 1878, ten four-wheel, tramcar-like carriages were delivered from the [[Falcon Works]], [[Loughborough]]. They were numbered 1 to 10, with a brake van from the same source taking the number 11. The first bogie carriage, also from Falcon, which looked like two four-wheel bodies mounted on a single chassis, received number 12, and the four-wheelers were rebuilt over a five-year period on new chassis to form five bogie vehicles. A renumbering had the rebuilds as 1 to 5 and the former 12 becoming 6.

Two all-new carriages to a similar design were built by the [[Metropolitan Railway Carriage and Wagon Company Ltd]] and numbered 7 & 8. Nos. 1 to 6 disappeared, presumed scrapped, after 1930; however Nos. 7 and 8 were used by a GWR employee at his home in [[Gobowen]] and subsequently preserved. No. 8 (used as a greenhouse-cum-garden shed) was recovered in 1958 and rebuilt for use on the [[List of Talyllyn Railway rolling stock|Talyllyn Railway]] as their No.17 while No.7 (used as a chicken coop) was recovered ten years later and is on display in the Corris Railway Museum. The brake van was also preserved on the Talyllyn but has been substantially rebuilt after being damaged in a fire.
