Big Loco Data Panel Update

I have undertaken a big update of the popular BR Tops Loco Data Panel designs.

Following requests and feedback from customers, I have reviewed the loco data panel designs. This review has seen the revision and updating of some designs, some new classes added and more liveries added.

The actual designs are tweaked to reflect actual photographic evidence of each loco and reflect individual details.

Data Panel Livery Revisions and Updates

The 1st batch of livery revisions focus on the BR Green colour schemes.

There are several versions of BR Green and they are applied differently to locos depending on their class.

BR Green

The BR green livery option now reflects the correct application of the livery on each class as shown in the products below.

Class 24 Later BR Green Data Panel Metal Sign — Class 24 Two Tone BR Green Data Panel Metal Sign

Class 33 33008 BR Green Mouse Mat — Class 26 D5300 metal sign

BR Blue

The standard BR Blue diesel loco design is now joined by the AC Electric blue loco design and the Electric BR Blue with chrome numbers.

Class 85 E Range BR Blue Metal Sign — AC Electric Blue Data Panel

Depot Tweaks Added to Loco Data Panel Designs

Each depot had their own little unofficial tweaks which they applied to their locos in addition to the many varied official logos, plaques and motifs. I research these tweaks for each individual loco and apply them as appropriate for each order as shown below.

More Loco Classes Added

I have been adding more loco classes featuring the ‘less mainstream’ and unsuccessful British Rail early modernisation scheme.

Weathered and Flame Cut Effects Refined

Another refinement is the weathering and flame cut effects applied to the data panels. Each effect is uniquely created and applied to each data panel order. No two effects will be the same, even if you order 2 of the same weathered loco!
