Old Locos Never Die!!
Our new range of T-Shirt designs feature a humourous play on locomotive nicknames and the phrase ‘Old Locos Never Die‘
What Is An Old Locos Never Die Design?
The t-shirt design features a play on locomotive class nicknames. Almost every class of loco has a nickname – some derogatory, some humurous and some strange!
