Hornby - The Small Print

 I always enjoy bringing out the magnifying glass to read the small print on 00 wagon solebars.  Usually works plates, repairs instructions etc.    I noticed that my Hornby Barkby Jolliffe 8-plank end tipper has a small plate on both sides with the main words "Lemon Creative" and smaller print above or below which I would want to study in brighter light.    I googled Lemon Creative and discovered they are a graphics design company which does artwork for Hornby packaging.     Has anyone else found this on a Hornby wagon and would care to comment?

Lol. I guess that was meant to be holding text pending the real wording?

Cock-up or easter egg, that is the question. I'll be getting my magnifier out at the weekend ;-)

I had another go at deciphering the small print in the daylight.

I think it says "Produced by Bob Watt LEMON CREATIVE Assistant to Jonathan Case".

I have absolutely no idea why the picture always rotates sideways when I try to upload it.

Well considering that’s one of the older mouldings with the huge couplings, I wouldn’t worry about word accuracy lol

 

I would worry less about the couplings and more about the holes in the end for the hinge.... 😛

 

It's the tippler wagon. Great bit of kit. Always wanted one as a kid.
