Thanks Bill I was actaully looking to try and get this in Locomotion good to see your still on the forums now a days, but yes I was hoping to get longer trains in Locomotion not OpenTTD
I just glanced over the source.... look at /src/table/settings/game_settings.ini and search for vehicle.max_train_length
Theres a min and max value. I have no idea if this will do what you want but you can try it. I also don't know if you'll need station spread larger or if you'll need to be able to make your stations longer to accept the larger trains.

Ok I will give it a look just two more questions and I will figure the rest out on my own 1.) Where can I find the source file? 2.) How do I edit said source code?

I haven't done it in years. But it goes beyond the scope of something I can teach in a forum. But there is information here on the github website where the source code is for doing it. There's a very steep learning curve to this. If you've never compiled anything from source before, this will be a very hard first thing to try

Keep in mind, this is for OpenTTD, not Locomotion. Locomotion is a closed source game, no source code available. There is a version called OpenLoco that you may want to look into.

OpenTTD's source code is here. You can edit files with any plain text editor.

Oh I didn't even catch they were looking for patching for Locomotion
Thanks for adding that.
