Re: [Rails-devel] Bug in 1830 Coalfields.

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik:
sure as I already found out where it occurs, most likely it is easier 
for me to achieve that. And it is still some of the places where I am 
currently getting adjusted to Rails 2.0 setup due to my changes to 
Portfolio :-)

However I still have a question open:

There is currently reporting to the ReportWindow about trains rusting 
and trains getting obsolete (only about trains rusting after being 
obsolete before). There are messages "TrainsObsolete" and "TrainsRusted" 
in LocalisedText which do not occur in the java code, only 
"TrainsObsoleteRusted".

I suspect this is not a required feature, however I still want to make 
sure that I do not break something.
