Most of my railroad time has been constrained to the keyboard lately (it just works out that way sometimes), so to have some fun, I created an online merchandise store (see the sidebar to the right). New products will be added, but I already have some basic items up for your amusement. You might want to do this for your own model railroad! It is a great way to create the mise en scène of your layout and augment its identity, and it is just fun creating and wearing your own herald!
I've gotten the Olive color t-shirt so far, and it turned out pretty well. The graphic could be a little more vivid, but it probably would have more contrast on a lighter color shirt. Personally I like the softer presentation that this affords so that the graphic isn't too loud since it is large. After a couple of washings, the ink is holding up well and there was only slight shrinkage. The version with the smaller logo should be really nice and sharp on a white t-shirt.
The next order will be the Stone color distressed hats for my wife and me. I'll report back on those when they come in.
To my eye I think the colors of your logo look best on a black or dark charcoal colored shirt. The option isn't there but the large logo on a black or charcoal shirt I feel would look the best and the color combination would be a good contrast.
BTW, maybe you covered this somewhere else in the blog but how did you come up with the logo? It's nicely done and seems appropriate.
Ted, you are right about the darker shirt - all I would have to do is modify the rings to white so they would show up. There is a black option, but not a charcoal gray (which I would like) at the moment. I think it would look good on a light gray as well.
I drew up the logo one lazy afternoon, and it is inspired by my wife's interest in roosters (OK, I am blatantly pandering), and the style of 1950s logos. I found a copyright free rooster image, vectorized it, and modified it to stylize it a bit more. He is named Pony the Rooster.
Hi Riley, I like the idea of "official" merchandise......How did you set this up? I'd like to do the same thing, even if nobody ever buys anything!
It was easy. Go to Zazzle.com and set up an account. Everything is prompted - just select type of merchandise and upload logos, add text, etc. You can use jpgs, pngs, etc. I'd be happy to help if you'd like!
I, too, just like the idea of it even if I am the only one that buys anything. Using the terms 'official', 'authentic' and 'famous' cracks me up.
Awesome, thanks Riley! I started to make up some t-shirts, but the embroidered hates want a special file type. I have Adobe PS, but I'm not what you'd call skilled in it's use, but maybe it's not too hard to figure out. I am very interested to see if the hats are really as cool as they look in the photos.
The embroidery was tricky. It took several attempts to get it approved because of the size of the stitching versus the detail in the image. It does cost several dollars to get an image converted to an embroidery pattern, but once that is done you can reuse it on other items. They do this conversion - you can't do it with Photoshop, and conversion programs are very expensive because they are geared towards manufacturers
If you are having trouble generating the original image with Photoshop, I'd be happy to take a crack at it for you if you have a sketch or something to go by.

The Waste Not Want Not Wednesday link-up party is inspired by World Food Day (Oct. 16), and recent articles such as this one that show between 40-51% of food in Canada and America ends up in the garbage. Over-consumption, lack of knowledge, low cost and over purchasing are common causes of food waste in North America. This unsustainable over-consumption extends to so many aspects of our lives.
So perhaps if we all share our tips for consuming a little less stuff in general, cooking more responsibly and frugally, and living eco-friendly, we can each take a small part in making our world a little more sustainable.
So this week I decided to mix things up a bit and choose my 3 favorite posts from last week, instead of reader favs. The posts that I chose this week are:
1) Recipes! But only gluten free, healthy ones please. This means different things for different people, but please, no recipes with pre-made boxed flour mixes or mass amounts of white or brown sugar (the less sugar the better please!).
2) Articles about food, sustainability, living healthy and frugal, being green and things in keeping with this.
1) Post a link on your blog post to back here, or copy and paste the code from the box under the Waste Not Want Not Button on the side bar into the HTML of your post. Simple linky etiquette, but also so people can find these tips and recipes.
2) Leave a comment and introduce yourself. What's your blog and/or your post about? Is your recipe GF, EF, NF, DF, SF, V (i.e. gluten free, egg free, nut free, dairy free, sugar free, Vegan) Let me and the other readers get to know you :)
3) Consider telling people you shared here on FB, Twitter or elsewhere and spread the love around, so more people can find this link-up.
5) Visit some of the other posts here, comment on their scrumptiousness/brilliancy/helpfulness/frugality and let them know you found them here and hope for a similar visit.
6) Follow the Poor and Gluten Free blog on Google+, Facebook, Pinterest or Twitter to stay up to date on happenings here (ok, not a rule, just a little shameless self-promotion).
Each week I'll post the entries on my Waste Not Want Not Pinterest board, and feature different posts on my Facebook and Google+ pages so be sure to check in there, too to see if you've been featured!
