As the owner of the A4 Pacific locomotive, SIR NIGEL GRESLEY, the 'Sir Nigel Gresley Locomotive Trust' has registered the nameplates as its Trademark with the Intellectual Property Office. The registration number is 2376185 and is dated 22nd July 2005. It covers the nameplate with any background colour including the examples below:

The Trust is a Registered Charity, Number 1079591, and thus all income generated, whether from hire of the locomotive, sale of merchandise (souvenirs, branded clothing etc.) and other sources, is all invested back into the locomotive to maintain it to meet the stringent conditions required to operate it on the National Network. This work is undertaken by volunteers, supported by a volunteer Board of Trustees. Thus, it is felt that those without direct connection to the locomotive, but who wish to profit from it by use of our trademark on their product (including, but not limited to: models of the locomotive, mouse mats, jigsaw puzzles, mugs, computer software – including imagery within – prints and paper goods etc.), should, in the first instance, request use of the trademark images, and make an appropriate donation to the Trust. In many cases, the donation can be set against tax by the donor.
