SNOWDONIA CENTRAL
London Jack is played as a train and costs nothing to buy. Put your third worker on London Jack - it is free to activate your worker on London Jack, but he can only be assigned to the Stock Yard (A) or Surveyor Move (G) actions - he can only fetch or go walkies!
London Jack is modelled on the first of five of a series of dogs of that name who were railway collection dogs - collecting from travellers for good causes. Between 1894 and 1900 (with a brief hiatus whilst dog-napped by criminals) he worked at Paddington Station collecting £250 for the London and South Western Railway Servants' Orphanage, and a further £200 for other charities.
Today he is on display at the National History Museum in Tring.
The Hot Air Balloon is played as a train. When bought put 4 rubble from supply on the balloon. When you take the Surveyor action, you may put a rubble from the card into your personal stock to have your Surveyor move an extra station. If the Surveyor moves beyond the last station, put him on the balloon and score +8 points in addition to points for the last station at the end of the game.
