Who would like to see a *Train* t-shirt?  One suitable for wearing as a
uniform for those doing Train shows and displays such as GATS.  Would some
thing like this be a possibility if enough are interested?  Seems like it
would provide income for Lugnet, publicity for Lego and provide a desired
product.  There certainly are plenty of great Train graphics done by people
here to choose from.  Which train would be most suitable? or a compilation
of  Lego Trains through time? or maybe just an engine? or just a minifigure?

Could a t-shirt have both the Lego design, whatever it might end up being,
and then somewhere also have a small Lugnet logo also? This would probably
represent some sort of confict?
