In your MSTS life?At least the loco builders?
The small models are quite cute but has someone ever ordered a REAL loco?!?
It happened!:I got a mail from far east, saying:Well, we have got this small project and would need some locos able to pull so many tons at this speed and some freight cars! I asked to be sure and got more details of this project...
Well, what do you say? 8) Greetings,
Roni

I've had similar. Had trackmobile send me a brochure on their latest road track vehicle, and a price list. They thought I wanted to buy it.

I keep getting business credit card applications for the UNION ATLANTIC RAILROAD. I guess they don't do any sort of a background check on 'businesses' ordering domain names. Tim Frost

>'businesses' ordering domain names. Credit card companies often buy mailing lists and offer cards to anyone and everyone. Only if you fill out the application do they do a credit check and I often wonder how serious of a check they do. I have often wondered if one could get a credit card for their dog if they filled out the application the right way. My 2c.
