Pretty cool wagon...

Got this off fleabay (arrived today), generally I don't buy masses of wagons, but this one just caught my eye due to the length of it and the name on the side.  From what I can gather it was a special edition for some model rail show a year or two back and is also available in other colours (seen at least a green and a blue one listed) Smile

In case anyone is wondering, this a rather silly Welsh name invented by some Victorian idiots in an attempt to generate tourism. The place is known to everyone who lives there as Llanfair PG. Llan means the area around a church, and Fair is the name Mair, = Mary (with the M mutated to F for reasons you really don't need to know!).

It seems that Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch stands out with the longest name of a settlement in Europe, but don't forget Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukaka­piki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­ki­tana­tahu (a hill near Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke's Bay, New Zealand). It's just a hill, but it's a place with the longest name. Smile
