Hello,
We already have an automotive theme park. We are PMT (Postmodern Technology) so this technology would be more for entertainment and family vacations than anything else. We would like a mockup done of a Thomas the Tank Engine style station and short track built for us. Main steam tank engine, 4 passenger cars, and a caboose. It would be on a small scenic island in the Pacific.

Regards,

Amara Cruon, Trade Minister to the Commonalitarianism

Amara Cruon,
Here is our proposal:
1 Class J72 0-6-0 Tank (rebuilt to ressemble Thomas)
4 passenger coaches (painted orange and seating 32 people)
1 caboose (painted red and seating 16 people)
10 miles of short track set to standard guage
1 prebuilt station

Total price: $300,000

We are delighted with your offer. $300,000 is being wired to you now.

Regards,

Amara Cruon, Trade Minister to the Commonalitarianism

P.S. Are you capable of producing a high grade advanced maglev monorail system using composite materials and bioplastics. We will provide the materials.

When our Electro-Motive Division goes international (ooc: later tonight), contact them about building a maglev monorail system. It shouldn't be a problem, but that is their department.

Asbena inquires about the deliverablity of the trains. Is this pre-constructed trains or will they have to be shipped via boat to our off-shore colony?

Asbena,
Our products are manufactured in our own factories. As we are an island nation (OOC: about the size of Australia), we have a fleet of transport ships to bring purchased locomotives to our customers. You order, we deliver!

Does your company also produce cargo cars? We have a great need to ship vast amounts of material that can only be done by large frieght trains.

We are still organizing our export product lines. Rail cars will be availably soon from Pullman Corp.

Pythogria would like to ask if you may sell our ML-87 Maglev bullet trains. You will get 80% of the profit from all sales, if you decide to accept our product. We will send you schematics if you accept.

To Lionel Railroad Corporation
From: Father Nashira and Father Homam

We shall purchase when the cars are able to be sold, or does the Corperation offer a discount at the current time?

Pythogria,
We would be glad to sell your trains. Please TG the specs to us so we can supply them to our Electro-Motive Division.


Asbena,
No current discounts are available.

(ooc: I'll have the storefront up hopefully tonight. working on the electro-motive division right now.)

OOC: I am trying to figure out the type of logistics I'd need to keep them running and can only figure that I would need upwards of 5,000 trains or more... what would that end up as for your production facilities?

To:Lionel Railroad Corporation
From:Jarod Testeil-Minister of Transportation
The nation of Rheingua inquires if the Lionel Railroad Corporation will sometime in the future be selling these:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-14-4,to be used as heavy freighters.If you can build them,we will need 6(six) of them.


Thank you,

Jarod Testeil

Jarod Testeil-Minister of Transportation,
We can build 6 4-14-4 steam locomotives for you. This is a custom order and will cost $450,000 per engine. Total: $2,700,000

Bump for United Delta.

To Lionel Railroad Corporation:

We will accept this offer.Please give us an estimated time of construction.

Jarod Testeil-Minister of Transportation,
Building is now complete and the locomotives are ready for delievery. Thank you for choosing Lionel!
