    Thorpe's trial & error

    Doubtful - I'd have thought that was down to the College Of Heralds, who are literally The Law when it comes to such things. The 1949 totem was a commercial design though. Besides... there were plenty of examples of a Lion rampant rouge up & down the country that have no railway connection at all. This one from the Brewery Artists website of the pub sign at Upton Snodsbury looks a bit similaresque. P.

    Thorpe's trial & error

    Now sorted (hopefully). "Signwork - A Craftsman's Manual" by Bill Stewart was the accepted course book for the City & Guilds Signwriting course that I took back in the 90s, & covers... well, pretty much everything:— Ebay Listings There are similar guides in the Internet Archive site, here's one from 1910:— https://archive.org/details/expertsignpainte00kell/mode/2up A selection:— https://archive.org/search.php?query=Sign painting Pete S.
  4. Planet Caravan – Black Sabbath
  5. Ring Of A Change – Status Quo
  6. Think of it as an anti-spring-coming-up-through-the-floor-plate. These vehicles had the large transverse spring connecting the buffer shanks and the drawhook. The spring is under compression when at rest & removing it without proper tools is a very dubious proposition (been there, done that, got away with it, never again). The plate is only 1/4" thick, so how much protection it actually provided is moot. Pete S.

  8. Try (Just A Little Bit Harder) – Janis Joplin
  9. Peroxide Blonde And A Hopped Up Model Ford – Gene Simmons
  10. Not necessarily an ordering error. A mere three 5 Litre cans of gloss paint will produce over a thousand 14ml tinlets, so for an order to be worth any manufacturer's while you'd easily end up with stock in the tens of thousands.

  12. Just Hit Town – Rory Gallagher
  13. Yes... also on the duckets/lookouts. See the first post in this thread:– Zoom in on the PBV that's at a jaunty angle & the garter is visible on the lower lookout body panel. The distinctive lining scheme around the eaves panels indicates that it's in the 1922 "revival" livery. Pete S.
