This comes from the London Transport Museum, where Ken Garland has placed the Harry Beck archive. Ken saved the archive and wro...

Railways culture organisation system design. Power-Ranger Express Japan 2015. Lewitt Him Food Train →. Paul Colin SNCF Poster 1947? April 18, 2015. Here is a poster announcing the newly-nationalised French railways, called SNCF. The French railways were nationalised in 1938. I’m not sure exactly when this poster was made. I thought 1940s, but it could be earlier. I’ll have to check. Colin ranks along with Cassandre and Loupot as one of the great poster designers of the 1930s. Lewitt Him Food Train →.

Amazingly, I can’t ever remembe...

Railways culture organisation system design. Pete Waterman’s Model Loco Sale →. March 7, 2015. Here is a lovely early Victorian drawing of a steam loco from 1846. The drawing is by the engineer, David Joy. This kind of technical drawing is distinguished by its precision. The drawing has to be big enough to carry the detail and, at the same time, remain clear enough to be useful…. The Institute of Mechanical Engineers has a wonderful archive of this material.

Here is an image of Bradshaw’s railway map of the UK. It’s dated 1852. I love the decorative engraving of the title and the clever way some of the more important cities have their own detailed maps, ranged to the edge of the sheet. Michael Portillo uses a Bradshaw for his Great Railway Journeys TV programme…. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.
