It started as "You're going to the Strong Country" then the one below, next was "You're nearly in … …", lastly "You're in the .. …. They also changed through the years, the loco I first recall was an N15 class King Arthur in Maunsell livery, then a Lord Nelson in Malachite ending with the spam can.
I would very much like one of the N15 ones with "You're in the Strong Country" on my layout, if I could find a decent pic of an N15 on a train at about the same angle (in colour) I'd have a go at pasting it over the spam can. I'd even settle for a Nelson, I could always edit the colour.
If anybody knows of the whereabouts of anything suitable please let me know. I've found loads of images of old enamel ads on line, printed them out on label stock to adorn station and building walls, this one just buigs ne though!

Needs front bogie wheels rerailing, headcode discs, but above all squaring up the original pic of the ad and some better scenery around the train! (The remains of the Peco goods shed losing for a start)
