Donated Window Graphics for the Lyme Billy Model Railway Project
THE CLIENT
An Axminster Community Project
Nearly 60 years after it closed, trains will once again run on the famous old Axminster to Lyme Regis railway. This time, however, the magic of the six-mile branch line will come from a large model that is to be built and displayed as a modern-day attraction for Axminster.
The project is being planned in a partnership between Axminster Chamber of Commerce, the Community Waffle House, Axminster Community Shed and Axminster Heritage Centre. It has already won support from the South Western Railway and the Devon and Cornwall Rail Partnership, both of whom have agreed to commit funding.
You can find out more about the project, the incredibly talented volunteers and location here:
THE BRIEF
Creating A Local Attraction
The project is seen by the team planning it as a key element in the drive to increase visitor footfall to Axminster, and in doing so support local businesses. It follows close on the heels of the Axminster Banners project and community picnic benches on the Minster Green, both instigated by the Chamber of Commerce. The project also celebrates one of Axminster's key strengths as a railway town with links to both London and the wider West Country.
Working closely with the project team was our main contact for the project, local Graphic Designer, Early Bird Graphics, who was able to supply a wonderfully simple yet highly visible design that could stretch across all 4 external facing windows. So as not to obstruct the model that would be visible through the windows, the graphics were kept monochromatic in a white finish, and would be placed just above the eye-line to allow curious viewers to look inside with ease.
THE SOLUTION
White Gloss Finish Window Graphics
From photographic images to branding designs, patterns or promotional messaging; you can easily turn your windows into bright eye-catching advertisements and works of art with printed designs or single colour creations.
For the Lyme Billy Model Railway attraction it was decided to keep the design highly simplified to gain attention, but not distract from the live model railway inside. We used a professional grade window graphic vinyl made specifically to handle the daily change in temperature and high UV exposure. These graphics are applied inside, plotted in reverse to show the correct way around when viewed from outside.
If you are looking to create a window graphics display for your business, organisation, charity or attraction, please do not hesitate to get in touch! We have a talented team of graphics designers here on site to assist you, as well as a professional installation team to make sure your graphics look their best for their lifetime.
We thank the whole model railway team again for choosing us to assist with this project, and can't wait to see the railway in motion soon!
