One from Corowa Nsw dont have a number.

Corrys engine was in going unrestored condition when it left with 2261 about the same time 2 other compounds left as well.

We pursued 2261 along with many other suitors always being told to make an offer and i will think about it then all of a sudden it was in a box and gone it was your classic colonial with ripple iron awning and wood basket got some pics if the owner wants to get the specs to make it what its meant to be

One was a real basket case, you boys on the wrong end of the world really know how to get your moneysworth out of engines!. That one is now with a gent who has amassed quite a collection, and I suspect it is in the que, probably behind another Foden, Mr Corry's old machine.

The other, in much better order has not long been sold, and I believe the current owner may well be a TT member. I was lead to believe second hand, that with some moderate boilerwork it would be a runner as is. I saw a number of pictures, but not the machine itself. It looked a tidy machine.

On the subject of getting your moneys worth it has been interesting having 1700 this engine has been worked over with lots of wear and repair jobs and about 3 revolutions on the crank for everything to catch up you jump on 1393 which led a sheltered life mainly pumping water so is still in very good order and rides very well on the rubber lugs.
