Swanage Railway

I’m the resident signwriter at Swanage Railway, a heritage railway in Purbeck. This particular job involved lettering a goods wagon that was built in 1904 and was operated by the London and South West Railway. It has recently been restored and I let the experts guide me regarding the styles of lettering used and placement,

I paint various signs around the railway, including directional signs and lettering on locomotives and rolling stock.
