Just editing the extensions.cfg is not enough, you have to download Train Editor and edit the number of cars in the Properties (2) tab.

It can be found at http://trainsimframework.org/develop/index2.html. Just click on "Train editor", under "Tools"

Actually, just open the train.dat file in notepad, scroll down to where it says #CAR

you will see something like this:

#CAR
30             ; MotorCarMass
8              ; NumberOfMotorCars
30             ; TrailerCarMass
0              ; NumberOfTrailerCars
18.6           ; LengthOfACar
1              ; FrontCarIsAMotorCar
2.4            ; WidthOfACar
3.2            ; HeightOfACar
1.5            ; CenterOfGravityHeight
5              ; ExposedFrontalArea
1.6            ; UnexposedFrontalArea

Just change the number on where it says "NumberOfMotorcars" to the amount of cars you want. Then just edit the extensions.cfg to match the number of cars specified in the train.dat file.
