GDMK Images Summer 2019 Update

GDMK Images Summer 2019 Update

Spring Shows

We have had a great spring show season, having the pleasure of visiting some fantastic railway and aviation events including –
  • Swanage Spring Diesel Gala
  • Epping and Ongar Diesel Gala
  • KWVR Diesel Gala
  • Severn Valley Railway Spring Diesel Gala
  • East Kirkby Lancs n Tanks
  • Daks Over Duxford
  • Crewe Open Day
  • Cosford Airshow

New Products

Our new personalised railway gifts, especially the replica loco panels, have gone down an absolute storm as have our D-Day 75 Commemorative gifts. Thanks for the great feedback on these products!

Bumps in the Road

We have been quiet recently following a health scare for our embroidery partner. All is well now, but it had a knock on effect to orders, so apologies if any of you have been affected. As a result we have decided to invest in a second embroidery machine which will allow us to increase our capacity whilst our partner can take it a bit easier. Our new embroidered railway and aviation designs were well recieved at recent shows but we havent been able to get them online. I am intending to add them this week! We have had a couple of weeks off the show circuit whilst we get on top of everything, especially getting to grips with the new embroidery software.

Upcoming Shows

We will be out again for the Armed Forces Day in Mansfield on 30th June so if you are in the area drop by and say hi! The following weeks looks like this
  • Flying Legends
  • DRS Carlisle Open Day
  • Marham Families Day
  • East Kirkby Airshow
  • Military Odyssey
If you are planning to visit any of these shows come and say hello!

Society and Fund Raising

We have been busy with supplying various Societies with merchandise for their fund raising stalls and are delighted to have added several new societies. We are extremely pleased to have been asked to supply the BBMF, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, with printed and embroidered merchandise. The Western Loco Association, Woodhead Railway Group and 466th Bomb Group at Attlebridge have also kindly ordered various fund raising items. There is also an interesting job involving 50008 in development! Our regulars including the Network Southeast Society, Southern Electric Group, Class 37 Loco Group, Lincolnshire Lancaster Association, The Spitfire Society and the Class 45/1 Society have been busy filling their stalls with our products so if you see these groups out and about, make sure you drop by and buy something to help them raise much needed funds!

Alamy Editorial Portfolio

Time has been precious this last few months and unfortunately I havent added any new editorial images to my Alamy Portfolio, but nevertheless licences have been good. If you need editorial pictures for your publication then check out my Alamy portfolio – there is a wide range of image subject matter and styles as can be seen below. These images have recently been generating enquiries and licences. This brings you pretty much up to date on where we are at the moment. We would like to thank you all very much for your support over the last few months. We are very much looking forward to getting back on the road again, starting with a home town event in the shape of Mansfields Armed Forces Day on 30th June. If we dont see you there, hopefully we will see you at another event this summer! Thanks for reading and all the best Gary, Dawn & Kay

Fund Raising Raffle for Class 50 50026 Indomitable

50026 Evolution from D426 to 50026 In NSE Revised livery

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Fund Raising Raffle for Class 50 50026 Indomitable

To coincide with the Severn Valley Railway Class 50 Golden Jubilee Gala, we are running a raffle to raise funds for Class 50 50026 Indomitable.

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]

Buy Ticket Now !!

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

The Rocky Road of Diesel Preservation

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.

Dont forget the profits from any product you buy here goes towards 50021 & 50026 so if you dont fancy a bash at the raffle you might find a nice little gift and still help both locos out!

Thanks for reading and hope you buy a few tickets, we look forward to seeing you at Bewdley!

Cheers

Gary & Dawn[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
