The max loan amount should be fixed, not a "#".  £500,000 is equal to
$1,000,000 so, which one is it?  I already sent in my entry after the
first 10 years and I had your old settings:

Max competitors: 4
Competitor start time: 3 months
Loan: $300,000 (£150,000)
Interest rate: 3%
Cost of construction: Medium
Speed of computer: Fast
Computer Intelligence: Medium
Breakdowns: Normal
Subsidy: *2
Construction cost: Medium
Economy: Fluctuating
Train reversing: At end of line only.
Disasters: On

What should I do? Should I change the things I can change.  These
include all except the Initial Loan ($300,000) and Competitor Start
Time (3 months).  Also, I am not worried about the loan thing because
I already over $150 mil.  So that I can live it, but it was tough to
stay in that $300,000 loan limit while other competitors came in took
my routes (temporarily).
