Here is a picture of the image that may be used for the special Galesburg/Trainboard T-Shirts. I'll make a refrence to Trainboard on these shirts too, let me know what you think and if you would be interested.
We'd probably pick up a dozen or more of the shirts to sell. Various sizes. Obviously pricing could affect that decision.
I should have a price quote by the end of the weekend. I will keep you posted. Also did you see the post where I replied Tina and I would be willing to help you unpack for the show. You can e-mail me at jwiggin@testors.com so we can get on the same page. I will be there Friday setting up displays. Hemi, thanks for the compliment. We should have these in a white T-Shirt and ready before Galesburg. No price yet, but soon!
Disregard George, I saw your other messege on the railfan forum. Drop me a line on my e-mail when you get the chance.
Jim, I really need to know if Tina is going to need a table at the lecture hall area. I have another vendor who is lusting after that spot. Harry
What's the "Steak House" is that the Packing House? I have made reservations for dinner that evening with my family of 5. I may try to seek other members out at the show. I figure we'll split our time between Seminary street, the train show, and the yard tour?
Jim I won't be at Galesburg but I want a shirt in 2x-large.I like my shirts with room to grow.Just PM me a price. Thanks, Clint
Harry, looks like Tina will be so busy helping me that she will not have time to sell since she will be busy with me, please let the dealer have it. Also did you get that PDF for the seminar? I e-mailed to you on Tuesday. Clint, will do!
Chris the Packinghouse is downtown near the Amtrak depot, the Steak House is on Henderson. I'll be taking a head count of all the TB members this week so we can make reservations there. I'll PM you.
