Quote

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Colonies,

the Cocovia wagonway company presents you with a unique investment opportunity, approved by her royal Majesty Queen Annetta herself:

Profit from Corrington´s advanced science! Invest in the most modern way of transport in the world!

The wagonway will be build of iron and wooden rails, on which the wagons run, greatly reducing friction. This allows for less horses, who are able to pull much bigger loads!

The wagonway will connect the main settlements on Cocovia: King´s Harbour and Quinnsville.

Additonally it will allow to move produce from the interior much easier to the coastal ports.

 

Rules:

1. Build a part of the wagonway at least 1000 studs in size. For this you are eligible for 1 share.

2. After we reach 10.000 studs and receive the license fee for all the shares, it will be licensed as a Corrington royal commerce property.

3. There will be 20 shares, 16 will be on the open market.

4. Each share will have a license fee of 150 Db and will yield 50 Db per month. The Bank of Corrington will handle the distribution.

5. You are allowed to sell your right to a share.

6. Any type of Lego rail (blue, grey, 9V, PF) and brick built rail can be used, but it has to be L standard gauge (5-studs/40 mm nominal centreline gauge).

7. No steam engines/locomotives, keep this within the Bobs technology level.

8. Depict the landscape of Cocovia faithfully, that means jungle and plantations.

9. The builds have to be dioramas with landscaping, rails on a plate are not enough.

10. This collab is initially open only to Corrington players. It may be opened up for other factions at a later date.

11. Post your build in an extra thread headed by [COR-CWW] and post a link in this thread.

12. This challenge ends 27th November 2017. As long as it is the 27th November anywhere in the world you can still enter a submission.

 

Minichallenges:

The winner of each minichallenge will be eligible for one extra share.

How is the population reacting to the new way of transport?  The wagonway is passing nearby the previously unexplored native settlement of Poi Poi,  how do the natives react?

2. Freight transport on the wagonway.

The main aim of the wagonway is the improved transport of goods. How is freight transported on the wagonway? How are goods loaded and transloaded between rail and road or rail and ship? Depict goods traffic on the wagonway with the focus on stations, goods yards and piers.
