Mugs are $21.95 each for stock designs, and you can modify the road numbers and add personalization text at no additional cost. Discounts are available on quantities of 4 or more. Shipping is additional. Mugs are encased in a solid Styrofoam block to assure safe delivery.
These are made to show off your favorite railroad. No attempt has been made to represent a specific engine model. The intent is to represent the style of such rolling stock as best as possible - it is a coffee mug, after all!
Custom designs are available (time permitting) for a small setup fee depending on the complexity of the design. Available designs are shown here. These are made to order and delivery is usually 7-10 days in the US. Click the Buy Now button to view the mug from all sides and customize it.
