The clocks are approximately A4 size, printed onto 0.5mm aluminium sheet and backed with a 3mm MDF board. They come complete with a virtually silent motion and wall hanger.
As standard, you can personalise your railway clothing by choosing your favourite loco number and choice of livery. If the loco was named the nameplate will also be added to your design.
Additionally, you can now add personalised words above and/or below the embroidered locomotive to replace the standard name and number design.
For classes that featured variable front ends such as Class 37, Class 40 and Class 45, the design will have either a split box or flush front design as appropriate for the loco number you choose.

In light of the circumstances last Saturday, where the start-up following engine repairs didnt quite go to plan, this fund raising takes on an even more pressing importance. The original plan was to run the raffle from the stall during the event, but in light of the sad news of 50026s withdrawal from the event, we wanted to start now and increase the visibility of the raffle.
Tickets are available online now and from the stall at Bewdley station throughout the gala until 3.30pm on Saturday. The draw will be made at 4pm on Saturday 6th October.
Raffle Prizes
We have some great prizes up for grabs as follows –
1st Prize – A signed limited edition print of 50026 in Large Logo livery and current Revised NSE livery
2nd Prize – A piston from the power unit in 50026 (IH6937)
3rd Prize – A signed limited edition print showing the evolution of 50026 from D426 in BR Blue in the various liveries carried above a full picture of 50026 in current livery
4th prize – A big end shell from 50026s power unit
5th prize – limited edition ’50s at 50′ t-shirt
* prints signed by Paul, Darryl, Lee & Midi
Tickets are priced at £2 each and you can buy as many as you want.
Your raffle numbers will be emailed to you following checkout.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1538341037243{background-color: #0098da !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border: 1px solid #00478c !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
Please support 50026 and the team who have literally busted a gut to have her ready for the gala. The difficulties encountered last Saturday are a big reminder of the fickleness of diesel preservation. Despite the great recent success stories of 50044 and 50033, 50026 shows that even with state of the art facilities, a fantastically dedicated and technically sound support team and 100s of man hours of work, things dont always go well.

Share Class 50 50th Anniversary Collectors Card Set with your friends and family …. thanks!
The weekend of February 17th and 18th February was the East Lancs Railway Spring Diesel Gala 2018 and saw us make our first of several visits this year to the East Lancs Railway.
The East Lancs Railway always puts on a great show in conjunction with the East Lancs Railway Diesel Group and the other based owners and loco groups.
In all, the East Lancs Railway probably has the best ‘home fleet’ of any preserved railway in the UK.
Not many railways can boast the following locos as ‘home based’!
No gala ever runs smoothly and a few locos did succumb to niggly problems before the gala started namely –
Class 56 56006
Class 47 D1842
Class 42 D832
At the end of the day, these complicated locos require a great deal of time and manpower combined with plenty of cash to keep running, so can be forgiven for the odd hiccup now and then – although 56006 seems to be pushing its luck. This loco is turning into a bit of a hangar queen![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Warm Welcome
We arrived nice and early and had a fantastic reception from the staff and volunteers. Its always a pleasure to bring the stall to the East Lancs Railway as everyone is so warm and friendly – rather befitting as it was somewhat wet and extremely cold!
Also we had a small range of our 50021 and 50026 fund raising merchandise on sale.[/vc_column_text][vc_media_grid style=”lazy” items_per_page=”5″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1551112118999-ed0c6717-2864-5″ include=”51963,51956,51955″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Another Great East Lancs Railway Gala
By all accounts the gala went well. The train service was mostly maintained although there were a few issues here and there. Class 50 50015 Valiant had encountered a few problems on the run up to the gala but performed impeccably.
Everybody we spoke to seemed really happy with the event, so well done East Lancs!
Trade was good on the 50021 and 50026 fundraising items and the main stall so a huge thanks to everyone who came and chatted or bought something. Its all very much appreciated!
Below is a fun video of the highlights from Bury followed by some cartoon storyboard artworks I have been playing with.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/8E2FPck42SQ” align=”center” title=”Video Highlights of the East Lancs Railway Spring Diesel Gala 2018″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
Another big thanks to all the loco owners, volunteers and staff who jointly made this a thoroughly enjoyable – albeit absolutely freezing – railway gala!
Update – Since this post was added, our agreement with Stuart Black has evolved into a collaboration whereby you can order your favourite loco, in your chosen livery as part of our Personalised Gift Service
Side Profile Train Pictures Added – First Pictures Added
You may have seen a number of side profile drawings of classic steam and diesel locomotives appearing on our products.
I have long admired the side profile style of artwork and have wanted to include a range in my offerings. I saw Stuart Blacks side profile artwork on the event circuit and decided to contact him.
I initially approached Stuart Black about the possibility of creating one of his classic ‘Evolution’ style pictures of 50021 Rodney for my personal collection. I asked Stuart about acquiring the rights to sell this picture as part of our fund raising efforts for 50021 and 50026. Stuart was very helpful and the end result is we now stock an exclusive ‘50021 Rodney Evolution’ range of products.
Following on from this conversation, we came to an agreement whereby I am able to stock and sell side profile pictures of many classic steam and diesel locos on our gift products including –
LNER A3 60103 Flying Scotsman
LNER A4 60009 Union of South Africa
GWR King Class 6000 King George V
New Build A1 Peppercorn 60163 Tornado
LMS Princess Coronation 46256 Sir William A Stanier FRS
LMS Princess Coronation 6220
Southern Bulleid Battle of Britain Class 34057 Biggin Hill
Stuart created me new versions of some of his existing diesel loco pictures and include
I will be adding more side profile pictures from Stuart in the near future including
Class 37
Class 47
Class 68
a number of classic aviation types
If there are any particular aircraft, individual locos or classes you would like to see added then let us know! In the meantime have a look at our new side profile pictures and let us know what you think!
All the best for now
Gary and Dawn

The 50021 and 50026 Christmas Fund Raising Raffle is now open and is the first competition I will be running to raise funds for 50021 and 50026.
First prize is a stunning 20″ x 16″ wooden block print featuring the evolution of the colour schemes carried by 50021 Rodney. This wooden block print features a stunning high gloss finish and is approx 3/4″ thick. The wooden block is keyed on the back ready for hanging and normally retails for £60 plus P&P.
I had this piece exclusively commissioned for myself but decided it would be apt as a prize to raise funds for 50021’s ETH Generator overhaul.
Second prize is a mobile phone flip case featuring 50021 and Third prize is a mug featuring 50021 as seen on the bottom of the print.
Tickets are priced at £2.50 each and 100% of the sum raised will go to fund the ETH generator overhaul on 50021.
