This post is in the pit because NARA is now exposed to all model railroads regardless of scale and whether prototypical or free lance. Catt and I wish to get a consensus of what members want on a few issues. I know this is being discussed at the free lance forum but before we go any further, please give us your vote on the following: T shirt yes or no Sweat shirt yes or no logo on front upper left yes or no or different. N.A.R.A. on back upper center yes or no or different. Cap yes or no Logo to use: Same as the NARA button yes or no Any other logo specify Any other items? specify Once again our thanks to Ed for taking the time to design our button logo and others and to offer the ordering ability for NARA products. Catt and I feel members should help by giving us direction so we can tell Ed which direction to go. In addition I offered to put the scale in the members list. This has been discussed some but ask you here Yes or no Thanks for your support and help to make NARA more fun for us all.
Ok here goes...... (Which hole do I punch?) 1.T-shirt-Yes 2.Hat-Yes 3.Logo Front(Button)-Yes to upper left. 4.Logo Back(Steam/Diesel)-Yes to centered on back. 5.Scale info-Yes (Interesting to see who is modelling what and one can always get an idea or two from another scale)
"i voted for Al Gore ,I voted for al gore YAY!!" said Hilda "UUUh... honey you voted for Pat Buchanon..."says Bill anyway: 1.YES 2.Maybe (is that an option) 3.Yes 4.Yes 5.Yes 6.YES 7.Let's trade rolling stock for the fun of it from time to time too!!

My votes, along with moose. T-shirt - Yes, Button on upper left breast, Steam/Diesel logo on back (centered). Sweat Shirt - No Hat - Yes Scale info - indifferent (need a tiebreaker, go yes) Just a thought, but Location? We already display it here, just so maybe we can have "informal meetings" and get a distribution of who's where. And let me know if you want to do an industry interchange type thing as I mentioned before.
We need to get something cleared up here guys. The company that is running the store is called Cafe Press. All I do is license them to use my artwork to print your orders. We can only offer what they have in their product line. In otherwords, forget about hats, cause they don't print them. You've got their whole product line. <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>T shirt - yes <LI>Sweatshirt - yes. If they can print it, and it doesn't cost us anything to offer it, then let the customer vote with their VISA cards. <LI>logo on front upper left - I'd like a TrainBoard logo there, but you gotta get Charlie to say okay. <LI>N.A.R.A. on back upper center - yes. <LI>Cap - See the note above <LI>Logo to use: The black and white steam and diesel <LI>Same as the NARA button - Only if I get to choose who clicks it! <LI>Any other logo - nope <LI>Any other items - see above [/list] By the way, we sold three shirts in the first 12 hours the store was online!

I've updated the store items with the apparent preference of the NARA button on the chest pocket. The button is about the size of a business card, so it looks a little odd on the size small shirt pictured on the store web page. Oh, and I added a small coffee cup with the button logo.

I'll go along with everyone else. I checked out the company store and think the current offerings are great! NARA Member #16

Hey Ed,I want a T shirt with the NARA button on the back. As for hats,if enough people want them we will find someone else to make them. <marquee>North American Rail Alliance</marquee> Make that a large NARA button on the back. [ 28 February 2001: Message edited by: Catt ]
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Catt: Make that a large NARA button on the back. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You're kidding about the button on the back right? I can give you a boot print back there if you'd like!
OK guys remember that this is for voting to see what the majority want. Lets not get into premature decisions or likes and dislikes yet. It is still too early for that. I believe that the democratic process should settle any issues or am I wrong. I will look at this topic Thursday the 1st of March and will look to see what you have all said. OK! I will then produce a summary .
Sorry for the late vote but I wanted to make sure that there were no dangling Chads! 1. yes 2. yes (It gets cold here up east!) 3. yes 4. yes 5. yes 6. yes 7. maybe a boxcar with the logo. Although some items aren't necessary, I would certainly purchase them anyway. Happy Railroading! Russ/NYC The Hoffman Valley Railroad NARA member 28
