New to this, how many carts can these trains pull. Given its a flat surface.
If need be, looking at the 4-4-0 AMERICAN - PENNSYLVANIA #566 WITH COAL LOAD.

Thank you.

Carts?  Like in a grocery store?

The high wheel 4-4-0's were designed for speed, not pulling power. Generally speaking, you find the prototype pulling 2-4 passenger cars, depending on their size, or 4-6 freight cars and a caboose. The HO model will probably pull more on level track, but it will not look right.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
