Railway Coins

FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ‘RAILWAY COINS’ TODAY – THANK YOU!

Five years ago today, Railways Coins released its first two coins: the VR ‘Blue & Gold’ and the cut-to-shape 3801. Next year I hope to issue the 100th coin design.

Reflecting on the first half of 2026

2026 saw ‘Railway Coins’ attend two fantastic expos for the first time. One was in Adelaide, and the other was in Brisbane. Both were hugely popular events and I look forward to attending them again, I’m keen to make them part of ‘Railway Coins’ expo calendar.

This year we have also issued a number of unplanned coins when inspiration struck: V-set finale and the retro XPT. Both coins have been really popular and I’ve loved sharing these designs. There will be more finale coins as our favourite trains sign off for the last time.

Next year will see the final XPT coin in the collection. I plan to release this in January along with a new tram coin. This will take the XPT collection up to 14 (which includes a finale coin of course). If you missed out buying the XPT collection earlier, you can purchase the full set, including sold out coins, online.

What’s coming up for the remainder of 2026?

Coin Releases

· VIC: Two Harris coin artworks have been released, and these will be online very, very soon. There is also a third Victorian coin, keep an eye out for that next week!

· NSW: I’m currently designing some new coins for the Rosehill Expo: an EMU and the other is a well know passenger service that no longer operates. Can you guess what it might be?

· WA: A new 3’6” coin for a WA based train is also under development. Artwork will be released as soon as it’s available. I also have a single (yes, just one!) FMG coin left so, if you’re interested send a PM.

Expos

I’m really looking forward to attending the following expos between now and the end of the year. If you’re planning on visiting any of these events, please stop by and say hi! · NSW - Thornleigh (8 & 9 Aug, this weekend!) · NSW - Goulburn (29 & 30 Aug) · VIC – Caulfield (12 & 13 Sep) · QLD - Pine Rivers (10 & 11 Oct) · NSW - Rosehill (25 & 26 Oct) · NSW – Sydney Tramway Museum, Loftus (8 Nov)

Any updates along the way will be shared on both Facebook and Instagram (railwaycoins).

Thanks again to everyone for your ongoing support of ‘Railway Coins’. This is my passion and I love sharing it with you all.

Toot toot!
