The following expansion kits are available for 1829 from
	HARTLAND Trefoil Ltd.
	5 Chapel Lane
	Blisworth
	Northampton
	NN7 3BU
	ENGLAND

MSK 1:	6 new tiles for use in the 4th phase, allowing green & russet
	station tiles to be promoted.
MSK 2:	9 new trains (4 different types).
MSK 3:  Value 4 scrip and current rule book for updating older games.
	(Games which already have value 4 scrip already have the latest
	rule book).
MSK 4:	Computer cassette for 16k or 32k pet, handling all transactions.
	Speeds up play.  SOUTHERN BOARD ONLY.

Costs:
MSK 1:	70p,	MSK 2:	70p,	MSK 3:	#1.30,	MSK 4:	???
postage (within UK) 1-3 items 20p, 4 or more items 30p.

I don't know what arrangements they have for overseas customers.

REVIEWS:
MSK 1:	Highly recommended.  Once you've used these the end-game will seem
	dull without them.
MSK 2:	Variable.  Most people I know use them.  The 3T train can terminate
	at small stations as well as large ones, which is vital for the
	Highland company on the Northern board.  The 3+3 train runs twice
	between the same stations, and is fun.  The 6 train is pretty boring.
	The 4+4E train runs twice between the same 4 stations, and can ignore
	stations between them (ie the stations do not have to be adjacent).
	Easily the most profitable train if you can afford it; the style of
	play changes a bit when you use it.
	I've never tried using some trains without the others, it's probably
	not recommended.
MSK 3:	I haven't seen older versions of the game!
MSK 4:	Haven't seen it.  ethz!wanner uses some computer s/w for 1829, &
	recommends it.

Disclaimer: I am a complete novice at the game.  I just enjoy it!
