Ian D. Wilson’s latest creation takes us back to the origins of the railway: to Great Britain. 24 minor companies may merge into 11 public companies. These in turn can merge into five systems. The gameplay works similar to 1861 (or 1867). But Ian has improved some minor issues. For example, it is possible to take over a minor after a public company has been formed. Instead of 7- and 8-trains this game comes with the more convenient 3+3 and 4+4 trains. And - as an alternative - most permanent trains show goods trains on the back side: these count city values of tokened cities plus a mine bonus. Also, there are permanent privates representing ferries and underground railways.
