Here is something to look at:

uhmmm....interesting. I think I'll add it to the future road train pak for 64 pakset. The rest of trucks from that site are cool too.


a payload of 275 tons!!    the last one would beat more than one rail convoy in Simutrans.

Amazing!

and tempting.... :

By the way: while digging through sources I found that maximal road convoi length is 4 consists. This doesn't mean much, as you already learned for rail... it's more or less the same kind of constraint. You can get road convoys longer than two tiles by setting higher length, too.

But I think you will (and want) never meet such a truck on a regular road 

[jbode]

certainly not ... they will get over your car like your car over a rabbit or something else small. Those trucks are purely for quarry road use ... But I have no idea whether the ETF machines are really beyond the project/prototype stage - nothing found fresher than that website (already one year old) ...

The use of such trucks (and the big one in pak128) would need different road type ... one track/lane per tile to have them in suitable size!

Code them as some unused track subtype Hmmmmmmm, this is almost tempting.
