1837 (2) Austro-Hungarian Empire
Designed by Leonhard Orgler (Austria) - Privately published.
1837 (2) shares many features with 1835 (2) and is, in many senses, a more
complex form of that game. It added a different form of "plus" trains (4+2)
trains have been mentioned in reviews, but no details on how they work);
freight trains, which run to coal mines; older trains may be voluntarily be
scrapped for a 50% discount on new train purchase; a third company payout
option (split payment between company and stockholders); and a hexagonal share
price index (stock prices may move in six different directions). A deluxe
edition of this game features cut-out tiles, a mounted game map, and other
niceties. (DMR)

1839(1) - Holland
Designed by Rob van Wijngaaen and Paul Stouthard - Privately published.*
Not to be confused with the later game of the same title. This game covered
Holland and was published in extremely limited quantities (30 copies). It was
authorized by Francis Tresham, who has one of the few copies. The game is no
longer available and will remain so, unless some company releases a commercial
edition. (DMR)

1839 (2)
Designed by Federico Vellani (Italy) - Privately published.
1839 (2) was one of the most innovative 18XX games. It added many features: 8
trains; pass tiles (which stop all but 8 trains); "small" companies (which can
turn into normal companies later); companies may merge; "non-historic"
companies (which can start anywhere on the board - the better the start, the
more expensive it is); and companies can buy stock in other companies. (DMR)
