Last year when I ran my "Your Hand On The Throttle" article:http://www.train-sim.com/feature/handson/handson.htma number of people asked about the Train-Sim.Com logo t-shirt I was wearing in the photos. I had a few extra ones but they quickly got sold and I think a few people got left out still wanting one.I recently found an online store that does t-shirts and other items on demand and sells them at reasonable prices, so I've set up a Train-Sim.Com store where anyone who wants a t-shirt, hat, etc. can now get one. All sales do of course help support the operation of this web site.Please take a look here:http://www.cafepress.com/trainsim

RE: Get Your Train-Sim.Com Stuff

Hey Nels,
This is great.
I've purchased a couple items from them recently, related to a Railroad Tycoon 3 forum. I ordered a Stainless Steel Travel Mug, and a Clock.
The travel mug is of good quality, but it's not insulated. Even though, I still like it. I haven't received the clock yet. Should be here tomorrow, or the next day.
I chose the cheap shipping method (USPS). It claims a 3 to 10 Business day delivery. I got the mug on the 9th day. The clock is now on the 8th day.
Nothing against Cafepress, but if you want it sooner, and you live in the USA, choose another shipping option. 'Course, it will cost you more.
I think I'll get a Train Sim travel mug. Ya' know-start a collection.

Thanks for the feedback. I've also placed an order with them. It looks like a pretty well run site and they've certainly got lots of people using it. It's nice to be able to offer these things to Train-Sim.Com members without having to do all the up front work that it used to require.

An update on the clock I ordered. Still haven't received it. Not counting 8/2 (the day it was shipped) it's been 14 business days.
Called CafePress. Sat on hold for a few minutes. Thought to myself, this is a waste of time.
When the lady finally answered, I explained the situation.
Talk about being floored. She said they would send another one out, 2nd day air.
I had to ask her to repeat herself. I wasn't sure I heard right.
To be honest, I was just calling to see if it had been returned. I surely wasn't expecting the response I got. Now that's customer service. She said I should get it Wednesday.Edit 1: Even though I don't run The Sim much anymore, I think I'll get a Train Sim Stainless Steel Travel Mug. CafePress deserves the business.

It may not be worth it if this is just short term, but it would be nice to have a link on the home page somewhere, for instance under heard on the wire

Yes, after a short period here in the forums I do intend to find a permanent place for this link. Just wanted to announce it here first as something new.

RE: Get Your Train-Sim.Com Stuff

Just a brief update on the clock, and service.
I got the clock a couple days later. 2 days later, another clock showed up.
So now I have 2 clocks. I called them and asked how I could send the second clock back, and the lady told me-not to worry about it. I said I'd send it to a friend, and she said-"That would be a great idea."As soon as I get done with this post, I'm going to get a Train Sim Mug, to add to my collection-ya' know. Good folk there!
