A soft, lightweight tee that carries a quiet slice of railway nostalgia. The front features a vintage-style illustration of a steam engine crossing a viaduct, captioned “GWR 3440” and “City of Truro,” evoking misty mornings, whistle calls, and slow country rides. The smooth ring-spun cotton feels gentle against the skin, while the classic crew neck and clean silhouette keep the look wearable every day. Wear it on walks along old rail lines, at model-railway meets, or when you want a subtle nod to historic British locomotion.
Celebrate railway heritage with this vintage-inspired tee featuring the legendary GWR 3440 City of Truro—the first steam locomotive to break the 100 mph barrier. Perfect for train enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone who appreciates the golden age of rail travel. Soft, comfortable cotton blend with a classic design that brings a touch of nostalgic charm to your everyday wardrobe. Whether you're a devoted railway fan or simply love timeless transportation icons, this tee is your ticket to style.
3440 was the 2,000th locomotive to be built at Swindon when it was completed in May 1903, but its main claim to fame was that it was the first locomotive to have been “officially” recorded as reaching a speed of over 100mph. On 9th May 1904 City of Truro achieved a speed of 102.3mph on the descent of Wellington Bank, and completed the journey mechanically sound and with cool bearings. The speed was achieved whilst hauling the five-vehicle Ocean Mail special from Plymouth to Paddington. This train did not normally carry passengers, but the GWR invited Charles Rous-Marten to travel on this particular journey.
