KSB Railines Incorperated

In order to meet increasing demands placed upon the Kingdom of SaintB's economy by our rapidly growing private sector and population we would like to purchase one dozen new Atlas Class Frieght Trains for a price of 1.44 million USD.

The deal has been accepted: which gauge to you wish them to be in?
Note that they come with one year's free insurance.

OOC: I don't know much about trains lol.... so whatever is average?

OOC: 750 mm is standard maglev gauge in Alfegos, and most countries. (Gauge is the distance between the "wheels"... in this case, it is the width of the magnet)

OOC: Thanks, I might have Integrated come in and buy some stock...

We would like our trains in 745 gauge.

Accepted: the trains are in transit, by ship. They should arrive within a day.

Silver Javelin railinks is proud to accept the deal offered for the construction and insurance work in Dartia.

We will be willing to build rail inks around your coast, and ask as to the length of the potential line.

ooc: oops, forum moved the post.
