Videos of UP 8500 turbine pulling 75 vintage metal Athearn, Varney and wood Silver Streak, Ambroid freight cars. 

I was wrong, the turbine couldn't handle 100 cars upgrade.  I'm guessing 60 would be OK.  Heading East (up hill), I had to 'double up' to get the train over the first hill.  After that no problem.

At Tye: Metal wheels over turnout sounds good. (videos and pictures always reveal errors that one doesn't always notice in 'real life': already fixed that one building roof and cupola!)
