I like 
	1829	(by the orginal designers of Civilization, it also
		 takes a long time, but it is worth it)
		Build railroad networks and companys in England

	Railway Rivals -- Draw a network and race from destination to
			  destination
	Empire Builder (3-6) -- Draw your railroad network and transport
				goods.
	Titan 	(long game) -- Monster mash
	Scrabble
	Rail Baron (3-6) -- Build a network of American railroads
	Aquire (3-6) -- Build up chains of hotels

(I assume from your list you are not interested in Military History games.)
