can you have longer trains

[trainlover13]

I am just wondering if there is a mod where you can have trains with more cars, i built a track all the way around the map and I could not get more then 22 train cars, when i add more it says there is not enough space, please help

[flint]

Actually, there is... but it's not a mod, it's more like exploiting a flaw. Trains are only allowed to be a certain number of blocks long. You can get around this by building your train on a curvy track connected to your mainline. See the attached screen-shot to see what I mean. Be aware that the maximum number of cars is about 40 before the game starts glitching out.

what is the limit on a straight line?

I think its like something like 20 or so cars on a straight line, but correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't played loco in like a month.

I had the same problem - - I will do this later, should I need to!

I tried it few hour ago and if I remember correctly I got a locomotive plus 26 or 27 wagons with us set.

may i ask how to get screen shots, it says saved to disk as screenshot5, but i dont know where to find it at, i have a screen shot of a train with 90 cars i wanted to upload

[Opan]

Your screenshots are saved in your locomotion file under C:/Programfiles/Atari/Locomotion, all the screenshots you've taken will be there. Mind that they are in BMP, and you can only upload PNG photo files. So change the picture to a PNG, in mspaint or some other program.

also in vista, they are under the compatibility files tab

In vista they're under the compatibility tab iff you have UAC turned on.
