Create Your Personalised Railway Gift Now

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.

Famous Locos

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

  • Class 40 40022 Laconia
  • Class 45 45048 The Royal Marines
  • Class 55 55004 Queens Own Highlander

All the side profile pictures are available to buy on our entire small gift range including mobile phone cases, wallets and purses, mugs and bags.

[ux_products auto_slide=”5000″ equalize_box=”true” ids=”48606,49481,48627,51843,48633,49466,48650,49491,48594″]

More Side Profile Pictures to Come

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

50021 and 50026 Christmas Fund Raising Raffle

50021 Evolution 20 x 16

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

50021 and 50026 Christmas Fund Raising Raffle

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.

Raffle Details

  • Your order number will be your raffle number(s).
  • You can enter as many times as you like.
  • You can buy multiple tickets on a single order.
  • Multiple tickets purchased on a single order will be entered into the draw an equivalent number of times.
  • No physical tickets will be issued – your order number is your raffle number(s)

Raffle Prizes

  1. 20 x 16 Wooden Block Print featuring the Evolution of 50021
  2. Mobile phone flip case featuring 50021
  3. 50021 Mug

The draw will be made at 8pm on Tuesday 12th December to ensure the winner gets the prize before christmas.

East Lancs Railway Spring Diesel Gala

English Electric locos Class 37 37109 and Class 40 D345 at Bury railway station

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

East Lancs Railway Spring Diesel Gala

Last weekend saw us at Bury on the East Lancs Railway.

This was our first outing to a railway gala in 2017 and what better place to start than the East Lancs Railway Spring Diesel Gala!

The Spring Diesel Gala is a home fleet only affair, but still boasts an impressive lineup of heritage diesel locos including

  • Class 14 D9531
  • Class 31 31466
  • Class 37 37109
  • Class 40 D345 (40145)
  • Class 45 45108
  • Class 47 D1501 (47402)
  • Class 50 50015
  • Class 73 73001

The gala was also the springboard to launch my latest digital painting featuring a BR Class 40 in the snow.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

#gdmkimageslive

The East Lancs Diesel Gala saw the launch of our new #gdmkimageslive feature where I go on Facebook Live to bring an insight into the event, a product or general discussion surrounding our business and events.

The first #gdmkimageslive session saw the unveiling of our new Class 40 digital painting picture and can be seen below.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Views from the East Lancs Railway Spring Diesel Gala

Here is a quick sample of pictures I managed to take during the event. First off though check out our view from the stall Sunday morning – a beautiful concerto of English Electric power gently idling away provided by Class 37 37109 and Class 40 D345.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/4_DRzosxYiM” align=”center” title=”English Electric Sweet Tunes”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]The weather wasnt fantastic being mainly overcast with occasional rain. Nevertheless I managed a few nice pictures, some of which will make their way onto products in due course. The low angle picture of 50015 Valiant with the cab reflected in the wet has given me inspiration for a new digital painting.[/vc_column_text][ess_grid alias=”east-lancs-railway-spring-diesel-gala”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

40135 No Show

The weekend went without too many hitches. The failure of much anticipated Class 40 40135, complete with repaint into BR Blue, was an obvious disappointment. Lets face it though, these machines take a hell of a lot of money, time and dedication to keep running. These things happen and we will just have to wait till next time to sample this great loco in its new guise. Good luck to everyone at the CFPS in getting 40135 up and running – heres hoping its a quick and not too expensive fix![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Next Stop Nene Valley Railway

So before we knew it the weekend was over and done with and we were packing the van for another exciting trip down the M6! Well actually we went back cross country because, as usual, the M6 was doing its best impression of a car park.

And now we are looking forward to the Nene Valley Railways Bulleid 50 Event this weekend.

I have 3 new wall art prints of 34053 Sir Keith Park for this event so drop by the stall and say hi where you can see them up close.

Also dont forget I will be doing another #gdmkimageslive Facebook Live session over the weekend. I will be talking about our ordering process and some of the benefits of ordering from our art stall at an event. Please join us!

All the best for now and look forward to perhaps seeing you at the weekend!

Cheers

New Class 40 Digital Art Print Released

Here it is at last, the eagerly anticipated new Class 40 in the Snow digital art print!

The scene is set in the winter of 1981 and features a Class 40 hauled passenger train speeding through a railway station. The Class 40 is in BR Blue colour scheme with a rake of mark 1 coaches in the British Rail blue and grey colour scheme.

The Class 40 depicted features the marker light and disc front end arrangement typical of the first batch of locos from D200 to D324.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

This picture will be unveiled to the public at the East Lancs Railway Diesel Gala today (18th February 2017). Mailing list subscribers have already seen this print and been able to buy at discounted prices for a week, which is usual practice for most new pictures I release.

2016 What A Year For GDMK Images

2016 What A Year For GDMK Images

Wow, what a year 2016 was! Personally and professionally, 2016 was a year to remember.

Personally, several ‘bucket list’ items were ticked off as we traveled across the US and The Caribbean during the spring.

Professionally we made great strides in solidifying the GDMK Images brand as a quality source of creative and unique artwork and photography. 2016 was our first full year taking our art stall around the country and was a great success. Its really satisfying so many people show their appreciation for our work.

It’s easy to bulk buy mass produced products at a low price point and resell them. We are not about selling for the sake of selling. We are about creating something different – something a little special that can’t be bought elsewhere.

I am passionate about the subjects in my work and I hope that comes through in my unique art style.

We made some great friends and met some really cool people along the way. Its not all about selling you know!

Below is a quick video summary of GDMK Images in 2016. The first video shows a taster of what you will see in our #tedontourusa trip blog posts. Part 1 of the Ted on Tour USA blog series is already available.

The second video is the soundtrack of our summer events, a soundtrack dominated by English Electric, Merlins, Napier, a bit of sizzling steam and a few other oddities thrown in![/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Remember to subscribe to the GDMK Images newsletter to keep up with our latest news and events or alternatively keep an eye on the Where to Find GDMK Images Page

What Can You Expect From GDMK Images in 2017?
