Re: [Rails-users] Dumb noob 1835 question

[Phil D. <de...@gm...>]

After you have declared revenue you get a 'buy train' button at the
bottom of the screen, that will offer you every train you are allowed
to purchase as per the rules.  Some reasons this may not be available
or you might not be offered the trains you are expecting can be:

-Company is train locked
-Company doesn't have enough money to buy an available train (if it
is, say, forced to buy at face value)
-The game has not yet advanced to a phase where buying between
companies is allowed

There are more depending on the game, I'm not massively familiar with
1835 so without a save game showing the current board position I am
unsure why a minor would not be offered a major company train.
