I know that Lou Redman owned the best railroad suit I have ever seen in my time and also the only railroad suit I have ever seen. Not sure many people have railroad suits in their closet. So what T-Shirt do you think is the best you have ever seen?

Depends on who's wearing it. If I close my eyes I see Raquel Welch in a blue cut off tee with a big yellow Chessie pussy cat emblem on it. And matching bikini bottom. Cheers!
And the younger guys are saying "Raquel, who?"
For the humor side of it, I used to get comments about my "Help Me, I've Fallen and Can't Reach My Transformer!" shirt when I used to regularly wear it to York years ago.
It had a cartoon of a layout and a guy in engineer overalls and cap who fell off his control panel stool.

The one I hand sketched with marker about forty years ago...... If I can find a picture I will post it.

Nah, no one that young is interested in trains yet, remember?
-Dave
You can be young, just don't strike me blind.
Going against the theme of being too young to know who Raquel Welch is, but this maybe too new for everyone to get but definitely a cool shirt.

There was a T-Shirt at York for sale:
Stop, Look, and Listen, my wife is coming.
A clean one. Don
Let's see. . . . I got a T-shirt when I rode an excursion with a big black steamer. . . . from Fort Wayne, I think. . . . Hmmm . . .
Other than that, a T-shirt featuring Reading T-1 No. 2124
My personal fav

I have one that states:
Federal Railroad Inspector
I'm here to inspect your caboose

We've thought about adding the River City 3 Railers logo to this shirt.....

Well....... maybe if you can get into a time machine first....... she's 74
There are some pretty cool ones on this site but I can't figure out how to order them. I contacted them but got no response.
Gentlemen,
The classiest Train Shirt I ever saw was made by The Union Switch & Signal & WABCO (Westinghouse Air Brake Company) way back, these Polo Shirts were extremely high quality, and very well done. I still have the Yellow WABCO version of that Polo Shirt, I wear it to the Trains Shows. The USS version had a pocket in it for my Fathers glasses, I unknowingly wiped the shirt out, while doing a plumbing job just this past year.

Regarding the quality of such a garment, approx. 10 yrs. ago, I purchased several T-shirts for my wife from "Woo-woo-woo-Ts" (sp?), a vendor in the Orange Hall @ the TCA Meet @ York, PA. She still wears them to this day, and they are not raggedy or unduly faded. Please consider that a recommendation, as I have continued to look for that vendor when @ trainshows.

Depends on who is wearing the shirt.
Otherwise, I agree. Any railroad themed shirt is good.

That shirt is where it's at.
I'm an old guy, of course, and I remember Raquel Welch. Nah. Never did much for me.
Now, Jill St John? Yowza!
How about the shirt I’ve seen that says “My wife said if I buy one more toy train she’s going to leave me. I’m sure going to miss her!”.

I'm a little late to this, but I'd like to share the shirt my 3 year old grandson wears when he helps me run the trains..

Well, she did, buuuuuut I don't think it had anything to do with trains. After 42 years with me, I think she was just bored.

OF Course, the "LUG NUTS" T shirt!! LOL
