I forgot to mention the buying/selling of stock, as that is fairly 
common in 18xx games besides 1830.  The initial offering is held in the 
company's treasury and pays dividends to the company.  It may buy or 
sell its own stock during the OR, and stock in the pool doesn't pay 
dividends.  There are some restrictions on selling stock as well.

Where do you configure inability to lay green track?

Other than getting some work done for the future, I am not sure how much 
value there is an an implementation of 18EU that doesn't allow minor 
conversion as that is the primary mechanism of the game.  I think it 
would be better to implement other games completely that can be done 
rather than spend time on a partial job, that may be wasted anyway once 
we get around to finishing it if the other parts change in the meantime.
