Traditiional trains are built on trust and I really admire those conductors who run them as, in my opinion they are taking the largest risk. I host mainly VWTs so it is very easy to correct errors before it reaches the rider. This is not so easy for the conductor of a Traditional train (not always certain where the errors occured).
I will have a look through my coupons tomorrow and see if I can come up with enough decent variety to start a traditionl train. I certainly can sympathize with those conductors who have already lost too much and don't want to start another one.
Questions:
1. What is a fair trade rating to join
2. What is a decent amount of coupons to start with (I would do only food and bevie)
3. What is a good train size
4. Should posting ins/outs details (ie exact coupons) be mandatory as part of the train
