Any particular strategy behind using the different
key format styles (e.g. LayTile and LAY_TRACK)?

There is an easier and IMO far better way to format strings
that contain variable values: MessageFormat. 

I have implemented this in LocalText.getText as a new signature
getText (key, Object[]), where the 2nd arg is an array of objects
(typically Strings). I have included one example on line 121 of
LocalisedText.properties, which is used in ORPanel line 802.

In addition:

- fixed bug 1519026 (Canceling train purchase does not abort
purchase). This was true for buying from another company, in
the price request popup.

- implemented request 1517709 (Deactivate train button),
this applies to train buying if the company has no room 
for more trains.

- fixed a few more bugs around train buying.
