Hi,
The Welsh Highland Railway has been building a new observation car for the (soon to be ) newly lengthened line; this was built at the Boston Lodge workshops of the Ffestiniog Railway, which is now the only traditional carriage building works in the UK (all the rest build in the modern style - Boston Lodge still use wood) it was painted in a maroon color which was an undercoat. and it has now had its finishing paint applied.
The result is as the photos that can be seen in the following weblink http://www.roger-dimmick.fotopic.net/c1665613.html
The color is described as blackberry black, and I think it looks superb! It will be facing North when running - that is facing Caernarfon; The WHR has no turning facilties at the moment. The fare is I think going to be at First Class rates.
