    I had the answer but was beaten to the punch by NH, so I'm awarding myself a question:

    In what sport would you encounter a boast? What is it?

    Actually, Rube got there first - a type of pottery/earthenware was all I was looking for. :) Rube, the trophy is yours.

    That is making "train" sounds in my head. Are they railroad gauges or engines or something like that?

    EDIT: No, I was thinking of Humbrol paint for model trains etc..

    Looking at the previous guesses, and assuming that one of them inspired Srameen, I'm going to try with steam engines.
