009 Welsh layout with longest name ever

[Model Railway Quest]

Move over Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch… here’s a Welsh OO9 exhibition layout called Cynllunrheilfforddenghreifftiolcymreigwrthymylharbwrgyda'renwhirafarygylchdaitharddangos. Translation: a Welsh model railway layout next to a harbour with the longest name on the exhibition circuit

 

[NorthBrit]

The station nameboard is longer than the layout.

 

[D&J RailRoad]

I've always been suspicious of the Welsh.

You didn't type those names, you copied and pasted, didn't you?

It's pronounced the same way it's spelled except for the silent r near the end.

And just for our non-welsh speakers, this is how you say it.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

llan-vire-pooll-gwin-gill-gore-ger-ih-queern-drorb-ooll-llandy-silio-gore-gore-goch, usually shortened to Llanfair-pwll or Llanfairpwllgwyngyll,
which translated means

"St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid.

I know, I have trouble pronouncing some of the Welsh names of the towns and cities.......like, what's that one.... oh yeah, Cardiff

 

[747flier]

One thing I like about Russian, it's pretty much pronounced as it's spelled. I was an international pilot for many years and the people I had the most trouble understanding were the Scots. English has so many silent letters. The Asian crews are always pronouncing the silent E on the end of Anchorage... "Anchorage-E"

Interesting to see some International railroading! Thank you!!
