Hello, 

Congrates on initial release of Rails!  It is great!  
I wish it will be the best online 18xx tool in near future, which is better 
than VASSAL/v18xx in every aspect.  

Here is some wishes and comments.  

> 1. Undo - this seems to be the most important and desired feature.

4. Secret/Public bank/treasury/player money
Bank/Treasury/Player money is secret in some 18xx, and is public in 
others.  I wish secrecy of money is supported as rules say, but it should 
be selectable before game starts acording to players' preference.  

5. Built-in Chat with log

6. Online game
For online synchronized game.  

7. Web game
For online asynchronized game.  Server keeps game data, and players 
log in asynchronously to play his/her turn.  

8. Map scaling


Apart from wish lists, thers seems to be a bug on stock chart/moderator.  
Current market value is showed in moderator in "Price(Place)" format.  
Place is showed in Alpha-Numeric.  Number is greater than it should be 
by one.  
On stock chart, new company's CMV marker is placed over existing 
company's CMV marker.  I guess it is not a bug, but contradicts to what 
we do in real games.
