Today is not like the traditional train rental where you need to go with the train and play conductor. Our customers love being the conductor for their own nkids and kids love it when dad or uncle Joe is the driver. And it allows them to celebrate their occasion in the privacy of their own families. We deliver it, give them a short "How to drive" lesson, then pick it up. That simple. and works better. Also, you can be at events and sell tickets to ride at the events. We schedule parades and charge folks $25 to ride in the parade. There are many ways to rent trackless trains these days as the operation of the tractors has become easier. It is a cash flow business.
