Collecting railway covers is a passion for some and an investment for others. For us, creating the covers is all about passion!
As a boy, our Chairman, Tony Buckingham disappeared for hours (if not days!), much to the despair of his mother. He was chasing steam trains and visiting sheds!
Many people believe Buckingham Covers make the most beautiful covers in the world. We hope you'll agree!

150th Anniversary of Brunel's Saltash Bridge
In 1846 the Cornish Railway Act received Royal assent and one of the stipulations was that the Saltash Ferry was to be replaced by a bridge linking Cornwall to the rest of the UK by rail.
To mark the 150th Anniversary of the bridges official opening, we created this beautiful tribute to the great man's work. The cover, designed by Isobel Fraser-Underhill, features the artwork of renowned railway artist Terence Cuneo. It carries the Royal Albert Bridge stamp from the 2006 Brunel issue and is postmarked on the day with our official Saltash, Cornwall, postmark.
15th Anniversary of the Channel Tunnel
From as early as 1802, ideas for a cross-Channel fixed link had been dreamt of but it wasn’t until the end of the 20th Century that those dreams at long last came true.
On 6th May 1994 the Queen and France's President Mitterrand formally opened the Channel Tunnel during two elaborate ceremonies in France and Britain.
We commemorate this historic day with a fabulous rail cover postmarked in Folkestone and featuring a wonderfull image of one of the Eurostars in 1994.
