John, yes this is why I am posting. I know it should be able to pull more cars. The 3-4 are a dump car and then some Lionel plastic box cars. It’s shouldn’t be a problem for it to put but my experience is that with too many cars coupled the wheels on the engine start skidding and the engine gets stuck in place.

The RMT BEEP always had two motors with direct drive to the wheels.
I'm confused about the three-four cars, they must be hard-rolling cars! Here's a BEEP with NO traction tires and 7 ounces of added weight, it's pulling 13 cars with no problem starting at all. I removed the wheelset with the traction tire to give this more reliability over the switches, and truthfully, I don't miss the traction tire at all.
