Why's Sheldon Cooper wearing a GWR train t-shirt in Big Bang Theory?

Apparently in one episode of TBBT he has an O gauge layout where he says O gauge or no gauge.The merits of train gauges are discussed.

There are references to trains and models in most series - probably all - though not in every show.

 

Dr. Sheldon Cooper is a train fanatic, makes occasional reference to the fact, and does have an O-gauge layout though we know not where.

 

In one show where his regular companions seem to have lost his friendship one asks "Were you rude about trains?"

 

Dr. Cooper will not move from his current apartment because there is nowhere else with a model train shop nearby.  Ironically while we see the comic book store in almost every episode we never see the model train shop.

I understand the train illustrated was the first corridor service on the GWR and thus was a trailblazer just like Sheldon. Further like Sheldon the GWR did things its own way and always assumed that other railway companies had got it wrong.

 

But more importantly where can I get one?
