Hi Arne, 

	what has me wondering, why are the obsolete trains removed after the
next run ? 

	Since the trains in the bank pool dont run they dont get removed....
Thats definately a bug in the logic.  

	Regards, 

	Martin

 I am forced to buy a train with Erie. The problem is that som rusted 
 trains still are in the train pool. I want to buy the T7 but am
forced 
 to buy a T3. Rediculous. I play with Rails 1.7.8.
