Arrivals expected in early 2008

Just thought I'd let you know of some arrivals due in early January.

On the 6th of January 1923, the railway network was reorganised into what became known as the "Big Four" companies - GWR, LNER, LMS & SR (for those who are new to the wonderful world of Rail Traction, these are the Great Western Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, London, Midland and Scottish Railway and last, but by no means least, good old Southern Railway). Next year marks the 85th Anniversary of this reorganisation and we are proud to be working with the National Railway Museum to commemorate this occasion.

We will be producing an official National Railway Museum stamp sheet, featuring the crests of the Big Four Railway Companies and the stamp labels will feature a great selection of magnificent locomotives. The sheets (code: BCSHEET11) will cost £22.95 plus postage but, that won't be all! A percentage of the sale of each sheet goes back to the National Railway Museum, so by ordering one of these sheets, you'll also be supporting the work of the museum. We will also be producing commemorative covers, each featuring a stamp and label from the sheet!

We will be producing one cover for each region, available individually (code: R34 at £9.95 each, our choice) or a set of four covers, one for each region (code: R34SET at £39.80 per set). The illustrations on the website are described as artists impressions but I have since learned that the illustrations have been confirmed.

Advance orders can be made either through the www.railwaycovers.co.uk website, the www.buckinghamcovers.com website or by phoning 01303 278137. Our most recent covers have been selling incredibly quickly so (at the risk of sounding like a 70's commercial!), don't delay, order today!

I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year,

Regards,

Sarah
