IC:

Welcome to the JAT railway storefront. Run by a consortium of train makers, you're sure to find a something that's right for your nation. All trains have served or are serving in our country too, so you'll get only the best!

Q: Why do I need trains?
A: Trains play a key role in transporting goods and raw materials around the country. They are cheaper to use than trucks or ships, therefore, you'll make a much bigger profit because you'll be saving on shipping costs. A nation that wants a good economy needs trains.
Trains are also an effective mass transit system. They will lighten the traffic you have on your roads and highways, plus it will get you where you want to go quicker.

With that said, you should go no further than here, to purchase world class locomotives. All sales are for the locmotive only (excluding Shinkansen), train cars will be sold later.

We will also sell rail tracks. State between which two places you want a line, and we'll calculate the price and time to complete the task!

You're not having much luck selling stuff, are you?

You're not having much luck selling stuff, are you?

no. any tips?

Well, for a start, you have started a strorefront, which is direct competition with another that is selling (as far as I can be bothered to tell) is selling the same stuff. Secondly, you have admitted that you have tried to copy another nations storefront (not wise). aAnyway, the other one is AMAZINGLY popular anyway.

I suggest that you either A) start again at a different time (ie, when your rival ends their storefront)
B) keep trying!
Good luck anyway.

My storefront wasn't that successful. You start getting the hint when 75% of all the posts are from you writing BUMP

I had trains first. He was only selling railways at the time. I thought we could work from each other's successes. So it wasn't really a copy.

If this doesn't work out i'll let this thread die.

ok!

Good luck to ya! (The last person whose srorefront didn't start off well, suddenly became really popular. So, don't give up!)

OOC: I hope your trains derail.

Charming!

The High Order has decided that due to increased travel between our nation and our settlements in the North Sector Naval Base, alogn with the increase of rogue ice bergs heading our naval traffic, a new rail system must be installed between our land and the base. The Voltarum enginneers are ready to build a track across the unoccupied land to your border and if your government is willing, emply a connection across your country to the Base. The use of your tracks will, of course, will compensated for.

This process will also of course require the purchase of vehicles to service these tracks. If the above proposal is acceptable, the Voltarum would like to purchase 7 Shinkansen 500, and 20 DF200.

The purchase price of $390 Million will be wired upon agreement of these terms.

For Antarctica,
Chancellor Xerco
Premier of the Order

Order confirmed. JAT will give a $90 Million rebate to you, as expensive shipping is not needed since you are our neighbor. For this reason, expect the tracks to be laid and trains to be delivered in less than 1 NS year.

Thank you for purchasing JAT locomotives.

[OOC: If you would offer some more, antique locomotives, we may be able to work something out.]

The people's Republic of Warta Endor wants to place the following order:
-40 681 series worth 360 million

Order Confirmed. Will ship once money is received. Expect delivery in 1.5 NS years. As for your request to lay rails, yes, we can do that, but we'll need to know what you want to connect (ie which cities/locations). If you want us to connect two islands, then the price will go up as well. Telegram the ministry of commerce for details.

Thank you for your order.

Excellent. The Voltarum Ministry of Engineering has already started to extend our track northwestward across deserted land toward your southeastern border.

Chancellor Lignar Twigroot
High Minister of Transportation

Perfect. We'll meet you there. Only thing holding us up is a 1/2 km tunnel we are building through hills a few kms north of the border.
