If you were a member in June 2006, you may remember that some forum badges were issued to members who requested one, and since then a few have been given to others on merit.

I'm pleased to say that from January 2010 we will be able to start distributing our new limited edition badges to members. The badges, produced exclusively for us, are roughly 25mm in diameter (around the same size as a £1 coin) and feature an image of an East Midlands Trains-liveried HST powercar.

As these badges are in limited supply, we will initially make them available to members who attend meets and in order to minimise postage costs they will primarily be distributed on meets (with the Greater Manchester challenge on 23 January being the first), or other social events. Those unable to attend meets, but have been long time members of the forum or are known to staff or other members will also be able to receive them by post.

If you are interested, please either send a PM to myself or yorkie stating your interest, and whether you will be attending the 23 January meet, and we will get back to you when we are ready to start distributing the badges. Please do not send your postal address yet.

Please feel free send me or yorkie a PM! Once all badges have been distributed to members on meets then we will look at sending them to others, but I'm sure we will have enough since you have asked.

I feel like I've earned one really...do we have a rough cost estimate?

I may well be at GMPTE, you never know.... (and that should read 23rd, not 25th surely? :) )

Yes, they were paid for by us, so they are free to members :smile:

I've updated the date; for some reason I thought it was 25 JNR!

Hail all! <D
I've only just stumbled across this thread :shock: But if I may suggest, ye could always sell those badges to users for a small amount, and use the profits to contribute towards RailUKs operational costs! 8)

There are still some available, please do not be afraid to PM myself if you are interested!

If you've sent me your address then I will send you a message once the badge has been dispatched.

Got my badge this morning, looks awesome. As soon as it was opened, it was attached to my shirt straight away and wearing it proudly as I type :D

Thanks to all responsible for making these and distributing them to us. Very happy I be with it! :D

Anyone got any pics of their badges "on location?"

Still got a few left, so send me a PM if you are interested in receiving a badge.

If by "on location" you mean out-and-about on the railway, I would have if my Great Escape was today... Mine arrived while I was away doing it! :D

Is a nifty little thing, isn't it? I'll be sure to wear it whenever I attend a meet or go on another Dot Day!

Merci/Danke/Gracias/Whatever to Mojo! Thanking you, good Sir! :D
