I've run up to 32, but they won't fit in staging. I can run up to around 12 before I have to double the train into two tracks. I can do this, as I have extra tracks, but it makes it hard to get the train out. I measured my siding, and it's somewhere around 750 scale feet long, which is a wee bit short on the prototype...[:-^] Also, starting around 15 cars it can get a little hairy on the 22" radius curve at the summit of the pass - I've had entire trains stringline there, and the remaining McHenry couplers on the layout occasionally break, creating runaway trains which can do serious damage to the equpment, not to mention the scenery and buildings it hits when it derails.I wonder why I know this...
