N Gauge Forum 20t Mineral Wagon - Ideas!

[Tank]

Hello,

I'm sorry it's taken this long to get this off the ground again.  Very busy time at home at the moment.

So, for the 10th NGF Anniversary I'm going to commission the Dapol 20t Mineral wagon in a specific livery.  Now, I was initially thinking of plastering the NGF on the side, however, I know members had thought of other ideas.

Please, can I have your ideas, whether it's to have the NGF logo, just NGF in white, something else like a name?, the colour of the wagon?  I'm stumped!  I guess a good starting point would be having the running number as 10.   

I'll hold a poll with the more popular ideas and we can go from there. 

Thanks,
Tank.

Instead of writing NGF or placing the NGF logo, it may be funnier to invent a fictive company related to the name of our forum. For instance: N. Gafo.
The location of this company could be Webshire.
Of course the road number would be #10.

We should have a

MODA Warwell wagon with a Tank load on it, in existence from 1942 so "most" layouts could run 1,

The MOD part of MODA can refer to the hard work the mods put into our forum and the Tank load for obvious reasons

Maybe more folks would be interested/buy more than one if it was kept simple and just had the running number 'NGF10', something simple Robbie might do for us

Just have something like this with NGF 10 in the panel (this image was just the first one that Google found for me).

Newport Grate Fuel

Napier Gradle & Foster 
Finest Coal


etc.

I'd like one that stands out from the 'normal' wagons rather than a subtle wagon number or something.

If you'll forgive my alterations to your post...

...maybe like this?

Good point @emjaybee

What about this one @Tank ?

Yeeeaaaaah, nooooooo.

Aquafresh isn't my cup of tea. To darn bright.

This is in recognition of Chris @Tank 's efforts on the forum so it could end up as either toothpaste or De Walt colours

Thanks for all of your input so far.

@exmouthcraig Love the tank and MOD idea.    Sadly, too expensive.

@zwilnik I love this as well!     I imagine a lot won't like it for their layouts, but it could be a second option (as the idea is growing on me)!

I'll try not to add a heavy influence on anything!   But I am trying to make it work for as many people as possible, so all ideas are good ideas.  I think?!

That's a good idea.  I do want something large on the sides, but this would be a good idea as an addition.

I already have someone lined up for these.  They're just waiting on me to send a draft of the idea that we come up with.

This is the kind of thing I also have in mind, but with different colours. Darker.
A reference to the South East region is a very good idea.
Is there any usual livery for this kind of wagon running in the South East?

What about the North West - and the South West, North East, Midlands, Wales and Scotland?

As mentioned in a previous message, the South East region was suggested to thank Tank for his huge work on this forum.
