The F&WHR's latest Pullman Observation Car – the 4th – went into service last weekend.

How does one pronounce the nane Gwyrfai? "W" is a short u, single "f' is a v, so would it be "gurvey"? And what does it mean?
Beautiful job, of course!

It's more or less 'Gooirvai' and is the name of a river that the train passes on the Welsh Highland.
Gwyrfai is the second Pullman Obs for the WHR, and is built to the slightly larger loading gauge of that line.

The interior of Gwyrfai is also rather attractive. Chair frames all made in the Carriage Works and upholstered by a local craftsman.
