Re: [Rails-users] Dumb noob 1835 question

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

A few things that might affect this in 1835:

* minor companies are not required to own trains and may not use emergency
money raising
* minor companies may own 2 trains from the beginning of the game and only 1
train after a T4 is purchased.
* companies may not purchase trains from other companies until a T3 is
purchased.
