Included in every sponsorshipA wagon of your own
Custom built and branded to match your business, in the stock type that suits what you do. It runs on the layout at the next open day and stays in the fleet for every one after it, so it keeps working long past the day it first ran.
A trackside placement in your colours, seen by everyone walking the line.
Inclusion and tagging across social media and the mailing list in the run-up to the day.
Your wagon becomes one of the answers children hunt for around the garden.
Named on the printed signage around the site for the whole event.
How it works
Four stepsWe match the right stock type to what you do - boxcar, tanker, open wagon or passenger coach - and settle the branding.
Custom vinyl decals and paintwork, done properly on the bench, with photos sent over as it comes together.
Your wagon runs at the next open day, and stays in the fleet for the ones after it.
Ideas to get you thinking
Not a menuOn a tanker, or a bar coach with the lights on inside.

A boxcar in your colours, loaded up for the run.
Or bring your own idea - let's talk.
The cost
Every penny to charityThe entire £350 goes straight on top of the event's charity total - I cover the cost of the wagon and materials myself.
A second wagon for your office or workspace, built alongside the original. Also fully to charity.
Barrels, crates, billboards and posters around the layout, quoted on request.
