Personalised Railway Window Label Metal Signs and Fridge Magnets

Plymouth - York Window Label with Class 45

Introducing Another Great Design For Your Railway Collection: Personalised Railway Window Label Metal Signs and Fridge Magnets!

Are you a railway enthusiast who misses the great bashing days of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s?

Do you remember those carriage door window labels showing the calling points and destination for normal passengers?

If so, we have an exciting announcement for you!

We are thrilled to introduce our latest product design, the Personalised Railway Window Label Metal Signs and Fridge Magnets!

These new signs and fridge magnets are the perfect complement to your railway memorabilia collection!

Drawing from an extensive archive of original window labels, we have painstakingly recreated them on sturdy metal signs and delightful fridge magnets.

The metal signs are slightly smaller than the original paper labels but faithfully retain the same size ratio as the originals, evoking a sense of nostalgia and authenticity.

Find Your Favourite Routes and Locomotives

With our personalised window labels, you have the opportunity to create a truly unique and personalised gift for your railway collection. Here’s how it works:

  1. Choose Your Route: Designs are ordered based on the old BR Table Number system – i.e. Waterloo – Exeter services are under Table 145.
  2. Each product has options for the various services that worked within the timetable section.

What Size Are The Railway Destination Window Signs?

There are two sizes

  • The Standard Signs are approx 400mm x 100mm
  • The Enhanced Signs including loco are approx 405mm x 140mm
  • Fridge magnets are approx 150mm x 38mm

Personalisation Options

But that’s not all!

As you may know, we offer fully customisable designs for all our gifts, and these Personalised Railway Window Label Metal Signs and Fridge Magnets are no exception.

You can opt for –

  • Standard Replica Window Label, faithfully capturing the original design.
  • Alternatively, choose a design that showcases the window label alongside a side profile drawing of the locomotive type typically allocated to the specific service.

You have complete freedom to personalise your chosen design with your all-time favourite locomotive that you had on the service.

Why Would You Want A Personalised Railway Window Label Sign?

  • Tailored Just for You: customise your sign with your favourite route and locomotive, celebrating your unforgettable moves from back in the day.
  • High-Quality Material: Printed on high quality 0.5mm aluminium metal sheet.
  • Perfect for Display: Perfect for hanging in your home, office, railway room or man cave, our signs make for eye-catching displays that will impress your fellow railway enthusiasts.
  • Thoughtful Gift: Surprise your loved ones who share your passion for railways with a personalised metal sign that they will cherish.

Thanks for reading, don’t hesitate to let me know your thoughts on these new signs!

Cheers

Gary and Dawn

Design Process

Flexibility with Control

The commissioned art design process is completely flexible. You choose an existing style from a reference picture in my existing galleries or we can discuss a style that appeals to you.

Once a style is chosen I will start work on your digital painting. At various stages I will send you developmental views of how your commissioned artwork is progressing. This allows you to review the digital painting and guide the look of the final artwork.

Once the image is completed you can choose what type of product your picture can be mounted upon.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

How Much Will It Cost?

My hourly artist time rate is extremely competitive and can be discounted if you allow me to add the picture to my portfolio and use it for resale on my site. You always have the right to maintain exclusivity but I retain copyright of all developmental and final images.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

New Military Art Gallery

Wall Art print featuring a Lancaster Bomber taking off into a moonlit sky

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

The New Military Art Gallery Has Arrived

I have a new dedicated military art gallery page to bring all my military pictures and digital art portfolio together. In response to your interest and enthusiasm towards my military art at our shows, I have worked on increasing my military art work collection. I have now created a military art gallery to bring all military themed artwork together in one single gallery.

Art work is still visible in their respective categories such as aircraft, vehicles or digital art. This new gallery simply brings everything with a military theme into an additional picture gallery. Its just another way to help you quickly get to a relevant type of picture.

Please let me know your thoughts on this new military gallery.

Thanks for reading

NYMR 70s Diesel Gala 2016

Class 26 diesel loco 26038 standing at the head of a passenger train at Pickering station on the North Yorks Moors Railway

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

NYMR 70s Diesel Gala 2016

Here is a quick overview of our trip with the art stall to Pickering on the Friday and Saturday of the recent NYMR 70s Diesel Gala.
Our newly released Class 37 digital painting picture was warmly received and sold well.

40013 and 55007 Looking Great

It was great to see Class 40 D213 40013 Andania back in service after a thorough 20+ year restoration looking and sounding great. Hats off to the owners and everyone involved as the restoration looks top notch.

It seemed very strange to see Deltic 55007 Pinza again, even though we know it is 55022 Royal Scots Grey in disguise. I’m not overly sure about the concept of disguising loco identities but the commercial aspects for the owner is obvious. Nevertheless it was great to see an ex works condition Finsbury Park racehorse coloured Deltic, complete with white cab surrounds again.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”nymr-70s-diesel-gala-grid”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

 Home Fleet Sounding Great

Both small Sulzer Type 2 locos Class 25 D7628 (25278) and 26038 sounded great and 37264 looked good as an authentic Scottish large logo class 37.

From an operating point of view 26038 didn’t have the best of weekends, failing on both the Friday and Saturday. Saturdays failure caused quite significant delays. From a trading point of view we had a good couple of days despite the seemingly low number of attendees.

We are very much looking forward to going back to the NYMR railway for their Autumn Steam Gala running from 30th Sept to 2nd October.

We are at several other events this summer so drop by and see our unique pictures and digital paintings.

Thanks for reading

Gary

GDMK Images June 2016 Update

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

GDMK Images June 2016 Update

Just before we dash off for the NYMRs 70s diesel Gala and Cosford airshows this weekend, I wanted to give a quick update on whats happening in the GDMK Images world. Firstly you can find out about the wall art, digital painting and gifts updates or jump to the editorial pictures update

I think the cover picture sums up June so far in the UK!![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Wall Art Pictures and Digital Paintings

I have released several new pictures and digital paintings over the last couple of weeks. I have been working through the thousands of pictures taken on our tedontourusa trip. These are being added slowly to my Alamy Editorial collection with a smaller amount added to the wall art galleries.

Gift Products

I have been trying out different suppliers for my gift products. I am really happy with my chosen suppliers, new and old. These suppliers are, as you would expect, providing top quality products. You might find things slightly cheaper elsewhere, but I am confident you wont find this quality, of both pictures and products, at our prices.[/vc_column_text][ess_grid alias=”GDMK-Images-2016-Picture-and-Gift-Update”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”june-2016-editorial-upicture-update”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Editorial Pictures

Pictures from the recent America trip are being added to my Alamy collection. The collection is broken down into lightboxes based on subject matter i.e. aircraft, railways, urban, people etc.

Currently I have been adding scenes from New York and a visit to Fort Lauderdale airport.

All the latest editorial pictures can be found in my latest editorial pictures lightbox

Future Editorial Picture Updates

Over the summer I will be adding more editorial pictures from the USA trip which will include

  • city scenes of New York and San Francisco
  • Pacific Coast Highway including Monterey, Morro Bay and related travel scenes
  • Road trip pictures from Route 66, Barstow, Mojave National Reserve, Highway 166
  • Airplane pictures from Las Vegas and Fort Lauderdale
  • plus many others including Maho Beach, Puerto Rico and some nice abandoned Americana scenes

Keep checking back or subscribe to hear about new releases.

[/vc_column_text][ess_grid alias=”GDMK-Images-2016-Editorial-Picture-Update”][vc_column_text]

June, July and August

We have lots of shows coming up after this weekends NYMR 70s Diesel Gala and Cosford Airshow (which are perfect opportunities to get some awesome last minute Fathers Day presents!!).

We will be at the Lincolnshire County Show, Nene Valley Railway Mail Event, Derby Night Market, Flywheel Festival and Flying Legends in the coming weeks so there is plenty of chances to come and say hi – even if its only to see Ted!

Dads Deserve Better For Fathers Day

Dads Deserve Better For Fathers Day

Our Dads are pretty special people. Of that there is no arguing. We may be a little cranky at times, but hey, who can you rely on to embarrass you in front of your friends? Who is Mr Dependable when it comes to bad dancing at parties?

Show your Dad how special he is this Fathers Day with a gift that is truly unique. Buy him a gift with a picture that is just as special as him.

Something different for Dad on Fathers Day

At GDMK Images you will find pictures that are just ‘different’. Pictures that feature familiar subjects that Dads like – jeeps, planes and trains but with a slightly different approach. Paintings that have a unique style.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”dads-deserve-better-1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]And just to add another twist of specialness, all the pictures can be printed on phone cases, laptop covers, tablet cases, eReader cases, mugs, wallets, ladies purses and so much more.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”dads-deserve-better-2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

People Love Our Event Stall

Show after show people go away with gifts and pictures that really stand out from the competition. Maybe its the quality of our products, no cheap tacky imports will be found in our inventory. Maybe its the unique style of picture that is seeing show organisers visit our stall and invite us to their events all over the country.

Whatever it may be, GDMK Images is being recognised as a quality supplier of unique pictures and gifts.

Make sure your Dad knows how special he is by getting him a Fathers Day present from GDMK Images.

We make ordering and configuration as easy as possible as shown below –

  1. Choose your picture
  2. Choose your gift type
  3. Choose a size
  • submit your order and away you go …….

Most pictures have direct links to each product. If you want a gift that doesnt have a direct link, use the Product Request Form to send details of what you would like. I will be in touch to confirm your requirements.

If you want to buy your Fathers Day gift in person rather than online you can find GDMK Images at the following shows

  • 70s Gala on the North Yorks Moors Railway on the 17th and 18th of June

Ted Goes Flying At Duxford

GDMK Images lucky mascot #Ted before his airshow display ride on C47 Dakota N147DC at the American Airshow 2016

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Ted Goes Flying at Duxford American Airshow 2016

We are just back from a fantastic weekend at the American Airshow at the IWM Duxford.

The American Airshow 2016 was a good event. There was lots of great flying (well the bits I got to see were very impressive). It seems the crowd numbers were down – a result of the advance ticket policy? I know a lot of people without tickets were turned away from the gates.

From our perspective it was a successful weekend despite the low crowd numbers.

I launched a new digital painting of Spitfire MkIX MK356 which was very well received by visitors.

We had a blast chatting to those visiting our art stall. Many became customers and bought something – its great to see your own personal work leaving for a new home.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”gdmk-images-art-stall-american-airshow-duxford-2016″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Ted Gets a C-47 Dakota Flight

The highlight of the event for us was Ted making a new friend called Loon. Loons guardians, Andrew and Geraldine, dropped by the stall when they saw a black and white picture for sale on our stall. It turns out it was a picture of their steed for the weekend – C47A Dakota N147DC. After a lovely chat, they invited Ted to fly in the Dakota during the display on Saturday! Well what could we say? Before we knew it Ted was off and away for his VIP trip. I am sooo jealous of that little bear!!!!

July 2016 Update – little did we know that Ted would go one better at flying legends by getting a date with B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B!![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ess_grid alias=”ted-goes-flying”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Interesting Discussion Generated

My Vulcan digital art picture is always a popular picture wherever I go. As this was our first airshow, it was particularly interesting to listen to the knowledgeable airshow photographers who stopped by. Much discussion was had on whether it was a photograph or art. Even more discussion focussed on its merits as art. Some questioned why someone would sell a badly blurred photo. Others were commending a stunning piece of aviation artwork. It was very entertaining overhearing the banter between friends when opinions differed!

I’m glad the picture does exactly what art should do – generate debate! I’ll side with those customers who bought the picture. Several versions were bought including framed, on canvas and on a wooden block, those people obviously know their art!
