I am ashamed to say that it has been over a month since my last post, and there have been a few new arrivals since then.
At the beginning of May we produced a cover to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the non-stop run of the Flying Scotsman service, hauled by the engine of the same name, and recently we have produced covers to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Northern Belle service. We were even lucky enough to have covers carried on the anniversary train!
Although we haven't yet produced covers for the latest A1 Pacific, 60163 Tornado, we have recently advertised a customised stamp sheet, not just for the new engine but celebrating the class as a whole. We hope to have the sheets ready by September, to coincide with the covers that we hope to produce for the mainline trials. An illustration of the sheet can be found on page 7 of the online version of Cover Lover 33, on the www.buckinghamcovers.com website.
Forthcoming covers for this year include the 40th Anniversary of the end of mainline steam, with the "15 Guinea Special", the anniversary of the death of the "Father of the Railways", George Stephenson, and the 70th Anniversary of the Duchess of Hamilton.
You're probably all bored with me saying this but I've already started working on a timetable of covers for next year and beyond. This year's Northern Belle cover was the result of a customer suggestion so feel free to let me know of any ideas that you have.
Get your thinking caps on over the weekend - I hope to be inundated with ideas on Monday morning, so please don't disappoint me!
Bye for now,
Sarah
