Hey Justin, There is some '25 specific code already committed but it's pretty light. I've played a playtest game through already and it played up to the point where someone wants to sell into receivership where we stalled. I've worked on the receivership code on and off (I'm learning too) and it's certainly not yet working. I think if this bit was operational you would mostly be able to play U1 or 2 to completion (no support for the funky trains in U3 or the minors yet).
