Rail Tags

In anticipation of our upcoming Edition 9 & Edition 10 announcements we wanted to share how much of your favourite rolling stock has found a new life. Since 2022, we've upcycled over 75kg of rolling stock metal into what you now know as Rail Tags. #railtags #upcycling

In preparation for a bumper packed Edition 13 we're clearing out some old stock. A very limited number of Class 153 variants have been restocked, as well as very few 423 and 507 tags remaining! Please note that the Class 37 Monocolour Light Blue tags remain unaffected.

Big things are coming from us as we roll deeper into 2026. With RTXII out the way, we turn our attention to an ambitious flagship release. #railtags

We second this motion 🤝🏼 #BringSpannersHome

Rail Tags Edition 12 is out now!

To wrap things off for today, here is a preview of the Bicolour Light & Dark Blue Class 37 tags taken from the Continental Rail side logo. These will cost £26.99 upon release #railtags #class37

Final prep for tomorrow is in full swing. With that comes another blogpost, this time about the Class 37s history and 37 703s brief time abroad. The Class 37: A Venerable Icon is now available to read on our website.

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s a crane with a train! 🏗️🚂 We’ve installed a Class 455 carriage at our Rail Operating Centre in Basingstoke, to provide practical training for SWR and Network Rail Wessex colleagues, the emergency services and other industry partners 🤝

Beauty and the beast

With thanks to Mr James Vale, a long time supporter of the Rail Tags project for helping us make such a special release a reality.

We are delighted to be welcoming such a loved and recognised locomotive amongst enthusiasts with massive historical significance to our fleet. Monocoloured Light Blue tags will retail at £24.99 with Bicolour Dark & Light Blue at £26.99 and will launch on April 13th at 1700 BST.

Bienvenido to the Class 37 as we go continental!

The SETG raises a glass to the staff at Wimbledon Park who worked to make these trains the most reliable rolling stock in the country: not just once, but year after year for more than a decade. Their replacements face a massive challenge. We wish the team good luck.

A venerable staple of our railway awaits you with RTXII Announcement (very) soon.

The 'Great' Livery Reveal... IS HERE! The ACMU Society is thrilled to announce the partial repaint of DMS No. 64571 of the sole-preserved Class 315 unit, No. 315856, into First Great Eastern livery. For more info, read our full press release: acmusociety.wixsite.com/shop/post/the-…

A fortnight today we will be running all of our operational rolling stock at our spring gala, with lots of other things do. You can also buy a piece of our cafe (former a Cl. 153 153374) by buying a Rail Tag, with many thanks to Rail Tags for their collaboration and support.

Hot off the heels of the Class 153s...
