As Chairman of The Durham Mining Museum (www.dmm.org.uk) I have a business contact who puts photos on coffee mugs and on glass chopping boards (several t-t members now have glass chopping boards showing their own engines and one has coffee mugs with photos of his children with traction engines). He also does good tee-shirts, but needs a minimum order from me for 6 shirts to keep postage costs down. The minimum order is for the shirts, not of one design - there can be 6 different designs in the minimum order from me. The shirts cost around £18 plus postage to you. What you get is the Traction-Talk emblem on the front with your username underneath and on the back a large print of your choice (I used my Avatar) plus "I am a member of Traction-Talk" and your username. Not only do you make yourself stand out (If that's what you want) but you also give free advertising for this great Forum.
AS an alternative, you could always take your design to a silk-screen printer of shirts and get it done for yourself, but you would need to get an image of the T-T emblem and permission to use it..

A few of our photos from this years event
Start with the miniatures






By way of a transfer to full size, here is a 6inch model of the full size it is standing next to


A home-made milk float built round what looks like a launch engine

Now the general line up.






A nice looking Foden. Pity there was no-one to talk to about it!




A Burrell roller with a Burrell Scarifier from the Bressingham Collection was roaded to the event




A portable which is claimed to be the oldest Davy Paxman in the UK if not the world









A repatriated Burrell "Devonshire" Engine. Looks much bigger than the "Devonshire" I know up North




A nice friendly small event. I hope they did well. There seemed to be a good turn-over of visitors with a free bus service from the carparks.
