WHRL Coach No. 9 is a replica NWNGR carriage. Originally numbered 9, the original carriage became Carriage 25 under the combined FR/WHR numbering system. This vehicle was one of a pair (Nos. 9 & 10) built in 1893 by the Ashbury Carriage and Iron Company for the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways (later the Welsh Highland Railway). Renumbered in the WHR/FR scheme, it appears that 9 became No.25 and 10 No.23. Number 25 did not survive into the preservation era but a new steel underframe was delivered to Gelert's Farm Works in 2005, on which is constructed a replica of the original carriage.
