Hi Maltesetoby,
I moved your post to the thread about the trains.
What farm is your train on so we can check it?


Edit: Your train has returned. In the Train manager it should have the button to unload it. After you do that then you need to dispatch it again. The Standard freight engine takes 6 days to load after you have dispatched it.
You can find all the information about the trains im the Game Guide chapter 29 about the trains:

Is there a limit to how many cars a Standard Freight Locomotive can pull? Having trouble getting anymore to couple with the existing train (which is NOT dispatched).

ETA: Fixed that problem but why are several of the cars currently coupled with the train "greyed out" in the train manager?

Hi Lisa

There are 19 long cars available in the store for you to use in your trains. Just remember that you cant place a duplicate long car in the same train.

I visited your farms and think you are talking about the Standard train on your farm 17.
It has 12 long cars attached, the Refrigerated car attached in the middle of that train is only decorative and it doesnt count for that train as it costs coins and not farm cash.

Then when you open your train in the Train manager and see the cars in your Fright cars tab, you will see that the Long Refrigerated car is dimmed as you do not have it in that train.

Also let me give you a suggestion, you know that trains not only give you products when you unload them, but they also help you when you work your farm friends facilities.

If you want to work all your friends facilities in all farms without going from farm to farm, you need 2 dispatched trains with at least 10 long cars attached to each of them.

You have 1 Standard train on Farm 17 with 12 long cars, 1 Enhanced train on Farm 26 with 2 long cars attached and 1 Standard train on Farm 29 with 9 long cars attached.

The Enhanced train is faster than the Standard, so my suggestion is: when the Enhanced train is back, unload it but DO NOT dispatch it again.
When the Standard train on Farm 29 is back (in 5 days), unload it and send the 9 long cars to your storage.
Then add those 9 long cars to the Enhanced train on Farm 26.

That way you will have 2 trains, the Standard on Farm 17 and the Enhanced on Farm 26 with more than 10 long cars and you will work your friends facilities faster.

I sorted it out. Not sure what it was fussing about. It was the train on 17. Didn't realize that refrig car was a coin one. I was half asleep when purchasing the cars. I see the refrig car. Will fix that when the train comes home.

I've been trying to rearrange and expand my trains since yesterday, and every time I try to open the store, I get an error message asking me to try again or reload. Trying again doesn't work, and reloading isn't helping much either. I'm doing good to be able to buy a car every couple hours. Everything else seems to work just fine.

Hi AnnaWalls

Please run memcache, link below. A new window will open with a short list of unsettings.
Close that window and your farms in all tabs you have it open.
Then login again and see if you can purchase cars without problems.

I purchased a new loco and long cars a few hours ago without problems.

I purchased all the engines and about 60 long cars, and put them all on my farm 48. Since the farm isn't large enough yet to hold all 19 long cars, I thought I'd relocate the trains to larger farms. I couldn't just move them from one farm to another, so I put the Standard engine and all the cars in storage. Now storage "can't move this item from storage - try again later." I've reloaded, logged out and back in, and still the same. How do I get my engine and 12 cars out of storage????

Hi NJones,
If your other farm you are trying to put them on is heavily loaded already then you will not be able to add them to that farm. There is a limit of how much you can put on a farm.

[NJones277]

I decided to just put the train back on farm 48, where it was originally. It won't come out of storage for that farm either.

Hi NJones,
Do you have enough open space to set the cars down? You did say you bought all 5 (third set) of engines and 60 cars. There may not be anywhere to set them down now on that farm. Buying items from the store is different from moving them from storage.
