I am delighted to announce a new collaboration with J.A.M. Arts which opens up a whole new range of unique laser etched gifts.
I have long wanted to offer laser etched gifts and am really pleased to have the opportunity to work with J.A.M. Arts. We have been working for 4 or 5 months behind the scenes to create and fine tune some exciting exclusive designs for you.
We have been experimenting with some really interesting products and fine tuning the etching process to ensure we offer high quality products and designs.
You may have already seen the quality of our laser etched products via some of our trade customers as we have been supplying laser engraved products to the WLA, CFPS, C50LA, 50027 Loco group, 306th Bomb Group, NSERS and others.
We want to thank these trade partners for their advice, support and feedback during our development process as their insight and feedback was crucial in developing our approach to products and designs.
You will have also seen a small taste of our unique designs at the Barrow Hill 150+2 event where the new laser engraved gifts went down a storm.
You can expect to see a selection of your favourite GDMK Images designs on our laser engraved gift products along with a large range of new and novel designs from our collaboration that Railway, Aviation and Military Vehicle enthusiasts wont have seen anywhere before!
A Taste Of What’s Coming in the GDMK Images/J.A.M. Arts Laser Etched Range
Many of the designs will allow you to fully personalise the design with your own wording and choice of locomotive/aircraft.
Each product will allow you to add your own words or phrases.
Thanks for reading and dont hesitate to let us know what you think of these laser etched products.
We would also love to hear about any product types or designs you would like to see!

After many requests, I have finally finished the embroidered Class 43 HST artwork featuring 43093 and the Old Oak Common Open Day side vinyl.
The Old Oak Common Open Day version of 43093 is available now on all our usual garments along with a new backpack rucksack!
The new Old Oak Common Open Day vinyl version of 43093 is a perfect complement to our existing special edition 43093 designs as seen below.
We are continually fine tuning our existing designs and adding new Loco Classes and livery variations.

Generations apart, despite their close class numbers, I have added the Class 70 and Class 71 replica loco bodyside data panels to the range.
The class 70 replica bodyside designs are available in the following liveries and colour schemes –
The class 71 data panels are available in the following liveries and colour schemes –
You can get these new data panels on all your favourite products such as –
My newsletter subscribers have been buying these new designs with an exclusive discount before they went live on the website.
Get exclusive discounts and pre-release access by subscribing to the Newsletter!
A weathered or flame cut effect is available for your data panels.
Around 60% of recent orders have featured one of these effects and they look great, so why not get your next data panel with one of these finishes?
Original loco flame cuts are usually prohibitively expensive, so these replica designs offer railway enthusiasts something similar for a fraction of the cost.
Each effect is created manually and is unique to that specific product. No two purchases will look the same!
Thanks for reading and feel free to comment on these new designs.

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.
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.
The BR green livery option now reflects the correct application of the livery on each class as shown in the products below.
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.
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.
I have been adding more loco classes featuring the ‘less mainstream’ and unsuccessful British Rail early modernisation scheme.
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!
If a loco was fitted with a nameplate you can select to have your design incorporate the locos nameplate!
If you are a fan of steam locos or multiple units, then we have plenty to offer you as well.
These designs are available on our full range of gift products including –

Hi everyone I hope you have recovered from any Christmas and new year excesses.
Here is a quick update on where we are in respect of new designs, supply issues and potential shows.
First off let’s deal with supply issues and get that topic out of the way.
Mug supply has settled down and once again we are able to get regular deliveries of standard size mugs.
Unfortunately, supply of the larger mighty Mug has been extremely frustrating to the point that I have temporarily withdrawn them from sale. Once I can get regular quality supplies of the large mugs, I will reactivate the option in the web shop.
Wallets and mousemats seem to be becoming more readily available as well.as coasters, although coasters are still proving to be somewhat erratic in availability.
Now onto something a bit more positive – new products and designs!
Following many requests we have added Military Green and Kelly Green polo shirts to the range. The Military Green coloured polo is perfect for our Military Vehicle range and many of our aircraft embroidered designs.
[ux_stack] [ux_image_box img=”77726″]Just before Christmas we added 2 new USAF aircraft designs to the Classic Military Aircraft range – the iconic SR-71 Blackbird and U-2 Dragon Lady.
[ux_stack] [ux_image_box img=”77451″ link=”https://gdmkimages.co.uk/product-category/clothing/aviation-clothing/classic-military-aircraft/sr71-embroidered-clothing/”]On the run up to Christmas we received many persoanlised design requests for F4 Phantoms. I have now added these Phantom variations to the Classic Military Aircraft range which include
[ux_stack] [ux_image_box img=”77142″ link=”https://gdmkimages.co.uk/product-category/clothing/aviation-clothing/classic-military-aircraft/phantom-embroidered-clothing/”]
During the Christmas break, we finalised and added 3 new railway designs to the railway clothing range – the Class 25, Class 31 and Class 33 locomotives.
[ux_stack] [ux_image_box img=”77220″ image_width=”80″ link=”https://gdmkimages.co.uk/product-category/clothing/railway-clothing/class-25-embroidered-clothing/”]I have been refining the Loco Data panel liveries and adding more missing classes and liveries.
They are slowly being added to the site – check out the next blog post for full details!
That’s all for now, so stay safe and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
Cheers

Unbelievably, thats almost another year done!
I would like to wish each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Your support through another difficult year is hugely appreciated.
The last of your orders have been posted and its time to look forward to a welcome break.
Here’s hoping you also have some time off to enjoy the seasonal merriments with your loved ones.
We have a quiet Christmas planned.
The online shop will remain open and we will continue to post any orders placed before the 24th, although there is virtually no chance of them arriving before Christmas due to the huge pressure the Royal Mail are under.
Orders placed from the 24th December onwards will be processed when production resumes on Monday 10th January 2022 when we will launch our New Years sale!
Over the holiday period I will be doing some website maintenance and upgrades that I have been putting off for a while.
I will be running a couple of competitions in the period between Christmas and New Year – one will be open to everyone and one will be for active subscribers only.
If you still haven’t subscribed to the newsletter then subscribe now and dont miss out on all the goodies subscribers get!
I will also be doing another reviewers prize draw, so if you have made a purchase and not left a review then get to it – the last reviewers draw saw the winner get a sweatshirt with their chosen design embroidered on it!
During the break I will also be adding more new embroidered designs.
The demand for new aircraft types and alternate squadron markings, particularly personalised tribute designs, has been huge and I feel extremely privileged to be able to help so many families commemorate their loved ones service.
These new aircraft types and squadron markings are available as options of the standard Classic Military Aircraft designs (albeit with different aircraft code identities to maintain the exclusivity of the design for the personalised order customers).
[ux_stack] [ux_image_box img=”76729″ image_width=”96″]I have also produced a large number of personalised railway designs including those below.
[ux_stack] [ux_image_box img=”77066″ image_width=”96″]I haven’t been neglecting the railway side of things and have a number of new loco classes that will be appearing during the break.
The new embroidered railway designs will include –
Class 31 will be added in 4 colour schemes
[/ux_image_box] [ux_image_box img=”77227″ image_width=”83″]Class 33/0 and 33/1 designs in BR Blue and BR Green are ready for adding to the online shop
[/ux_image_box] [/ux_stack]All that remains is for me to wish you all a fabulous Christmas and New Year. I will post some of our 2021 highlights on social media over the break. Please feel free to share any of your pics of us at shows or of bits and pieces you have purchased in the last year!
Stay safe everyone and have a great Christmas!!

Let GDMK Images help you!!

[/ux_image_box] [/ux_stack]This will fill a much requested gap in our library of embroidered railway designs.
Once these 4 designs are released, I will continue work on some of the larger types including Class 56, Class 58, Class 60 and Class 68 which are less frequently enquired about.
Together with our data panel designs and personalised side profile drawings (via our exclusive collaboration with Stuart Black), we have pretty much every railway angle covered!
I have updated a couple of our Class 50 T-Shirts.
We have been experiencing real difficulty in getting consistent supplies of the blank Ringer t-shirts we use for the following T-Shirts –
As a result, we have decided to use our standard plain T-Shirts for these designs.
[ux_products columns=”3″ ids=”55882,54666,54653″]These t-shirts have proved very popular since introducing earlier this year.
Material: 100% ringspun semi-combed cotton.
Weight: 190 gsm

Proceeds from these t-shirts go to funding both Class 50 locos, 50021 Rodney and 50026 Indomitable.
