The Updated Enthusiasts Guide to the Coolest Drinkware Range

Read on to find details about the coolest drinkware range available to railway and aviation enthusiasts

Our overhaul of the drinkware range has been completed with the help of your fabulous feedback.

Our collaboration with J.A.M. Arts allowed creation of a unique and novel range of designs on laser-etched drinkware to complement our popular existing printed designs.

The GDMK Images drinkware range offers railway and aviation enthusiasts the following products –

Printed –

  • ceramic mugs (adults and kids sized)

Printed and Laser Etched –

  • travel mugs
  • water bottles
  • thermal flasks

Laser Etched –

  • beer glasses
  • shot glasses
  • whiskey glasses

Remember – almost all these products can be personalised.

Drinkware in Detail

Ceramic Mugs

The first product is the humble mug. We continue to offer our popular printed ceramic mugs in approx 10/11 oz std and 7 oz kids sizes.

Ceramic mugs are available with printed designs and are dishwasher resistant and microwave safe.

Water Bottles

There are several different types of travel mugs and water bottles available to enthusiasts. We sought user feedback for the different types to see if any particular type was more preferable and with this guidance in mind, selected the styles discussed in this guide.

Water bottles are becoming more and more popular. With healthy hydration and reducing single use drink cups and bottles having such a high media profile, we were not surprised to see these sentiments reflected in our feedback.

Although our standard water bottle style received very positive feedback, many people commented they would like to see handles for easier carrying and some form of built in straw.

Fortunately, we did find a water bottle with these features that printed and etched nicely.

The new water bottle with handle also features a flip up drinking spout connected to an integral straw. Fantastic – both preferences in one product!

Lastly, one of the most requested products is now available – bowling pin water bottles!

All water bottles are available with both printed and laser etched designs.

These water bottles should NOT be placed in dishwashers or microwaves!

Insulated Travel Mugs

We are sticking with our standard travel mugs. The feedback suggested that the flexibility of the travel mugs were more than adequate for the job, so why change anything?

Travel mugs are available featuring all our printed and laser etched designs.

These Flasks and Travel Mugs should NOT be placed in dishwashers or microwaves!

Big Loco Data Panel Update

Class 24 Later BR Green Data Panel Metal Sign

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.

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.

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

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!
