Australia's first railway company, the Sydney Railway Company, was founded in 1848. It proved ruinous for its founders. Shortly before the opening of the first line, it was taken over by the New South Wales Government Railways. In 1852 eight privately financed railways were planned in Victoria. Three of them were established but only one of them was a success -- The Melbourne and Hobson's Railway Company which was opened in September 1854.Many types of railways, which during the next 150 years came into being over the whole country, supported industries such as mining, sugar plantations, logging, metal works, and cement factories. For the most part, they were owned by the industrial companies themselves and were therefore called "Private Railways" in order to distinguish them from the main railways owned by the States.
1848: Australia is a semi-historical railroad game for 3 to 6 people. It is based on the game 1829 by Francis Tresham. Historical constraints have, as far as is possible, been taken into account. In other areas, history will be written anew. 1848 features the inclusion of The Bank Of England as a public company that extends loans and administers railroads that are in receivership, dealing with the different track gauges between states, and 'The Ghan' special train.
1848 has simple mechanisms at its base. The yellow, green, brown and grey tiles are placed on the map to form a network of routes, connecting stations together. The trains (train cards) make notional journeys from station to station, thereby earning money. The (imaginary) travellers pay for their journeys. The more and the more important the stations a train visits, the more money it earns for the company and its shareholders.
In the game, you and your fellow players will own 6 Private Companies, shares in 8 Public Companies, as well as shares in the Bank of England. The Public Companies belong to their shareholders. The player with the most shares in a company is its Director and decides what the company will do. You will operate your companies, invest in others, buy better trains, and compete for routes. At game-end, players computer the value of their shares and add that value to their operating profits to determine their total wealth. The player with the most wealth wins.

Nice shirt, wrong color
The shirt is very nice, but was supposed to be "dirty blue. It is not. A;though the package clearly says "dirty blue", this shirt is a dark grey. Period.
Now, that is not a bad thing, as my outfits can go with blue, grey or brown. But, when I order a particular shade or color, I do like to get it.
The picture on the website depicting what a "dirty blue" shirt looks like, is nothing like what I received.
But, i do like the shirt, and as it happens I like the color. Just not what I ordered.
Now, the size is correct, and the fit is great. The material is nice and soft and quite comfortable to wear. It actually looks good on me!
The quality of the shirt is excellent- the stitching, fabric and style.
The price point is quite favorable, in fact, is is very good. The shirt, overall is a five star shirt, and would be- had i not received a grey shirt instead of a "dirty blue". Still, I would recommend this shirt, especially if color and shade is not paramount to you.

Very nice shirt and fits great
I ordered this shirt for my husband and he loves it! The size fits well and looks great both dressed up or down. The material is lightweight and breathable. He really liked that the buttons are hidden/protected under the outside flap. Overall, very happy with this order and would recommend to anyone.

Great summer shirt
This shirt fits extremely well, it is definitely true to size and no shrinkage or wrinkles after washing. It’s made with 75% polyester 20% viscose and 5% elastane (never heard of the last two). It is very soft and feels nice on the skin with a slight cooling effect. Perfect length to leave untucked. The color is very nice and it has 1 breast pocket with the short sleeves cuffed which makes the shirt look even better. It does have color matched buttons but when it is buttoned it has no show buttons which I think it would look nicer if it was just a regular button down. This shirt will definitely be in my spring and summer rotation.

Great looking shirt
The color and pattern on this shirt is really nice. My camera can't capture it well at all. But in person this shirt is great looking. It is soft and comfortable, easy to wear. Size is true. I'm quite happy with this shirt.

Very well built, will last you a very long time
Style: Trifold, Style: Trifold
This wallet is very sturdy, and barely has any wear on it after I've purchased it over a year ago. Most wallets will start to greatly scuff, wear, or degrade/break down just from being taken in and out of your pocket but this wallet has held up particularly wear with VERY MINIMAL light scuffing. Quality leather so I know I will have this wallet for a very long time! It has great card holding capacity as i currently have about 10 cards in it and it still has a pretty slim profile. The wallet itself is a very nice, natural looking wallet. The ease of pulling cards in and out definitely has made me a fan.
