SL18      GRAHAM FARISH N PULLMAN NAME PANELS £2.50

You'll find a review of Graham Farish Pullman cars in our Feature Articles section from the home page. The N-gauge models were almost identical to the earlier and now rare OO models, scaled down. The standards of printing were crude and only blobs of gold were applied.

Our L12 pack gave side panels for these 2mm N scale models as names running in the Bournemouth Belle and Golden Arrow trains. Now you can have whatever names you like and transform these old models with the latest standards of printing using our custom order labels. Alter the livery style from early to late crest if you want the model to better fit the time period you've chosen to model.

The details on our labels include:
  • Fine double lining and top scroll details where applicable.
  • Multi-colour Pullman coats of arms, as per the real transfers, and not just a crude one-colour outline representation.
  • Letter spacings for names as per real practice.
  • Brake ends with "Load 11/2 Tons" for original crest liveries.
  • Guard door signs for the brake end doors.
The effect is that of plated-over sides, as match-boarding at this scale would not appear to be any different - the moulded lines on the bodywork are more like scale corrugated iron roofing than fine joints between wooden planks.

We offer custom made pairs of name panels, printed on glossy film material designed to match the coach finish and colouration as closely as possible. To 2mm (N) scale, they are a precise fit for the cars.

Choose from the variations of panel types and liveries that you would like:

  Golden Arrow large 1946-9 markings (no brakes)
  Common original crest for all but brake cars
  Common original crest for brake cars only
  Late crest livery for all except brake cars
  Late crest livery for brake cars only

The real life post 1960 late crest liveries used a coat of arms with horizontal lions, and the lining was simplified to remove scroll work at the corners and ends of name cartouches. Also the scroll work in the top panel to either side of the "PULLMAN" logo was then removed. Remember to order matching SL19 top logo panels so that the liveries are consistent and the overall look of the model is enhanced.

Please enter the exact lettering that you would like in the name cartouches of your side panels in the box below. For numbered cars in real life, there were specific naming styles at particular times that you may wish to follow:
  • "CAR No XX THIRD CLASS" - used up to 1948
  • "THIRD CLASS CAR No XX" - between 1948-51
  • "CAR No XX SECOND CLASS" - Golden Arrow 1946-49
  • "CAR No XX" - from 1951 onwards
Be sure to use UPPER or lower-case and any special characters as you want them to appear - almost always the real text was in UPPER-CASE. Note that the "No" of a numbered car will be formed using the special raised and underlined "o" as per real practice.
