Dear all,

I'm trying to get the next NGF anniversary rolling stock ready, but I need your help.

There are some options for what rolling stock is available in large quantities, and I'd like you to choose which you'd prefer.

Additionally, I'd need to know what it would look like.  The last wagon was red, so I don't know if there would be preference for the same colour, or something different?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you.   :)

My vote would be for a simplistic design along the lines of the last one but a different colour.
How about black with white or yellow wording?
I'm sure I'll get used to cream first soon.

I suppose I would slightly prefer a van to an open wagon, but I don't really mind. What anniversary are we celebrating, is it 25? If so, something with silver lettering would be a bit different!

Cheers,

Chris

I'll buy one, whatever, but I'm tempted to suggest a cattle truck, as appropriate for some of our members.  Hat, coat, exit stage left and right.....

Traditionally it's crystal for a 15th Anniversary but that doesn't lend itself to model railways.
I have all sorts of commemorative wagons so another van would fit in well, maybe with just simple lettering stating 'NGF - 15th Anniversary.

If it is a van type, then how about a beer wagon with the lettering in silver as another post suggested. May be 'N.G.F. Brewery' or other text with N G and F in it somehow?

Cheers! :beers:
Finally, after waiting over 55 years I am building a permanent layout in a purpose built shed!

Ooo, you sentimental old thing you.

Here's some alternative information that could be 'manipulated' along that theme...

15 yr anniversary, traditional and alternative themes:

Watches     Maybe a clockmakers van?
Crystal     Maybe a glass manufacturers van?
Red         We've done red so what about...?
Ruby        A red alternative?

That's it, that's my half-a-groats worth of input.

I can explain it to you...

Gosh, is it only 15 years? I feel like I've been a member for a lot longer than that...  :doh:

But, yes, I like the idea of an NGF beer wagon. Or tanker?

Cheers,

Chris

Sadly tank wagons are not an option hence the 3 options in the poll

I know not many people on here model modern image, but possibly a 20 or 40ft container could be an option.
regardless, great idea.
cheers
