	If you use this switch, there is no real limit to how many cars your trains can have. Well, there is a limit, but 127 cars is just so much that it won't matter. Really. Trust me. Especially since it would take ages to buy such a train...		If you use this switch, there is no real limit to how many cars your trains can have.

	The depot also behaves slightly different, because when a new train only used to attach at most nine cars to it, now it will take all that are available (up to 127).
