Captain Posts: 1,063 Group: Members Member #327 Joined: April 4, 2007	Alexander Eurymachus I represent the Zeelar Vulcan Company, or ZVC, Zeelar’s largest locomotive and railway equipment works. If it is an acceptable inquiry, I would like to request more information regarding the gauge of railway tracks in the esteemed nation of Anachnu. In Zeelar, and in railways outside of Zeelar owned by Zeelaran interests, the gauge has been standardized at 4' 8 ½". Moreover, I would like to request whether or not standalone locomotives are needed, or if a system that relies on permanently coupled carbody trainsets are needed. Will these be for freight or passenger service? If single locomotives are needed, perhaps the E412 class is acceptable? Otherwise, would the HHP-8 be a better fit? Thank you for your time. I look forward to working with you in the future. - Alexander Eurymachus (ZVC Locomotive Works)

We need standalone locomotives for our double decker coaches. Posted Image We are interested in purchasing the E412 class, therefor we would like to order a test train to see how it performs on our rail network. Yours faithfully Philip Abrahamson Manager

Captain Posts: 1,063 Group: Members Member #327 Joined: April 4, 2007	Alexander Eurymachus This is most certainly understood. Two fresh E412 class locomotives will be assembled, and shipped free for testing. Let me know if there is anything else we can do for you. The locomotives work well in multiple unit lash ups, so if you have need for increased power for ton-miles, the E412 is an excellent solution. That should be quite compatible with the apparent nature of your operations. However, I might also like to interest you in the electric double decker MU cars produced by ZVC. Thank you. - Alexander Eurymachus (ZVC Locomotive Works)

Because of statutory provisions, however, we must insist that it complies with the following safety regulations, when we issue a major contract with you. - Bulletproof windows - Security doors - Panic/Terror button - Computerized logbook in hebrew and arabic - PA to make announcements in the coach/wagon Yours faithfully Philip Abrahamson Manager

Captain Posts: 1,063 Group: Members Member #327 Joined: April 4, 2007	Alexander Eurymachus A public address system is among the regular features; though usual practice in Zeelar has the Conductor call out stops via a PA in the coach, the engineer is completely capable of making an address if need be. The other issues will be installed on future models, and if you wish to additionally purchase the two demonstrator models, a crew can be transported to retrofit them. Otherwise, we would be happy to begin shipment whenever it would be an opportune time.

Captain Posts: 1,063 Group: Members Member #327 Joined: April 4, 2007	Alexander Eurymachus I am grateful you came to us, thank you kindly for your patronage. I am under the assumption you mean the E412 class? Would you need them to these same safety precautions?
