In most games, including 1830 and 1856, buying trains from another company
is only allowed after a 3 train is purchased.  It is unrestricted in 18AL,
18GA, and one or two others, but that is unusual.  If Rails is allowing the
practice in games of 1830/56/70, it needs to stop.

I'd like to see the earlier trains drop off the beginning of the list in
the Game Status window once they have all been purchased (except maybe if
used trains of that type are available).

Yes, I was unable to place them in phase 6 (or maybe it's my error - I
thought that Berlin/Vienna had a gray upgrade, but I wasn't allowed to do
it).
