There's a line in ttdpatch.cfg containing that newstations switch, you can edit it with a text editor such as notepad.

For the graphics, there is a file called newgrf.cfg, where the installed GRF files (in the newgrf/ folder) should beincluded.

Errmmm.... The graphics config file is newgrf.cfg if you have TTD DOS. If you have TTD Win, the file defaults to newgrfw.cfg instead. The newgrfcfg switch can be used to change this, though.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

Well, everything except miscmods and experimentalfeatures. Yes, I know it claims to be able to set those, but in that department, it's still unconvinced that any version other than 2.0r1 exists.
