Beginner questions

[willie g]

four questions:
-- the pop up trains/goods window above the mini map usually has one or two of your trains in yellow print - what does that signify?
---The manual says you can filter the Hall of Fame by scenario or player - how do you do that -there doesn't appear to be any interactivity at the HOF screen
--- The manual says you can toggle different modes of the mini-map with the "M" key - this doesn't seem to do anything - is this not functioning?
--- also, what exactly does the big exclamation point on the mini map mean?
-thanks,

1st question - The speed of each train is kept track of and when it makes a record breaking speed two things happen, the game gives it a new name in yellow and you get to change that name to whatever you want.

the next two questions may mean that the game was changed after the manual was written or they planned to put something in but didn't. Or someone else may have an answer. I don't except as I said above.

The last question - when you bring up the Goods section next to the Trains section, and click on one of the goods, say Coal, coal icons will show up in the map along with the exclamation marks. The goods icon is where you can get the goods and the exclamation icon is where they are needed. If you don't see any exclamation icons, the good is not needed yet. If you don't see a Goods icon, it means that Good is not being made yet.

If you look at the manual and you look at the game screen, you will see alot of things that don't look right.
