Mammothtrains is broken

Ran a train with 38 coal cars, one eng and tender. Only 30 cars loaded .
Using a single platform station of 15 rail lengths.  Switched to a 7 rail
length station and only 14 cars loaded.  Turned off the largestations
switch. Built a 5 rail length station and only 10 cars loaded. All cars
unloaded no matter the length of the station platform (30 cars unloaded at a
1X1 station). Using the latest patch 2.0.1 alpha 22. Did not try earlier
patch to see when mammothtrains stopped working.

I just tried it and it worked for me...  maybe you can try to find out if 
there's a certain setting in ttdpatch.cfg that causes this?

I stated problem wrong.  I can built a train length up to 127.  The real
problem I have is that: only Can get a max of 30 cars to load of the 127
cars. Train sits in the station loads 30 cars and pulls out of the station.
Train is set to full load at the station and is only loading coal. Using
fullloadany on, gradualloading on, loadtime on   Please suggest what to look
for or set in the ttdpatch.cfg text file.
Thank you for your time and consideration

No, I understood what you said.  I built a mammothtrain and all wagons 
got loaded and unloaded.

The only thing I can think of is that you've turned on the 
"freighttrains" switch.  In that case, the train stops loading when it 
would get too heavy for the engine.

"Freighttrains switch ON", That was the problem. I was in the yr 1921 and
had the single Collett Pannier Tank (steam) as the engine.  Went into the
cfg file and turned off the freighttrains.  Able to load 60 cars now with
coal.  Understand more about this switch now. Thank you for your time and
consideration.  Keep up the outstanding refinements to the game.
