All-over Advert Liveries
Over the years Blackpool Transport hired out their fleet as large travelling billboards, displaying various advertisements for local and national businesses. ELMTS have acquired the rights to use the artwork to make them available again, with each one faithfully recreated from the original Blackpool Transport Marketing Department designs or from our good friend Micky Bates, a former real-life sign writer who now applies his skills to recreating adverts in miniature. As part of this deal of having the rights to the advert catalogue a donation from the sale of these products will be made to Blackpool Heritage Tram Tours.
Adverts are printed on clear transfer paper designed to cover a white body shell (except where stated). NOTE: these are an aid to creating the advert, comprising the main part of the graphics. Additional painting will still be required to complete the model. There may be some minor differences in the artwork to the originals as we have used the original marketing dept drawings as the basis for the adverts rather than those completed by the sign writer on the tram. However, they represent a superb representation of the advert.
We have the artwork for a great number of adverts and we plan to add these to the range gradually as they need some work before release. Micky also plans to recreate new adverts when he has free time available. We have listed both those currently available and those we hold the artwork for and plan to release in the future. Please enquire if you would like an advert recreating, or a future planned release accelerating, as we may be able to meet your request.
