Pixie Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Having missed out on several of the Danish Design Council reprints and lusted over the original, I was incredibly pleased to see that some enterprising soul is looking to reprint the BR Design Manual. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1863728218/british-rail-corporate-identity-manual?ref=hero_thanks A sample of what's inside is here - http://www.doublearrow.co.uk/manual.htm Usual disclaimer - No connection other than a hopeful pledger. Cheers, Pix Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Pix Pixie Could you let me know when they announce what additional pages they are looking for. It is unlikely mine have anything special, but whom knows? Thanks for the heads up Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium cornelius Posted November 14, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 14, 2016 My copy has just arrived. Only had a flick through so far but it's a fantastic book - lovely reproduction on the manual itself and some great supporting content around it including an interview with the designer of the BR symbol.

kevblokey Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I have mine that I am delighted with, shame that the sections on Road vehicles and infrastructure are missing, I assume the originals did have these sections in full. Be great to know what was included Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal.n Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I have an original I found in a local charity shop for a fiver.... I hadn't heard of it before apart from that before today. Simply bought out of interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_Millard Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Given that in later years there's a loco livery hand book (livery diagrams), Railfreight 3TG corporate design manual and one for RES too plus sheets for Regional Railways I wonder if there's scope for a follow up project or two? Anyone else know of old BR design manuals.... there must something for NSE, Large Logo blue / LL Railfreight incl redstripe and Dutch liveries....
