How many cars can a prototype steam engine pull?

My simple question is "How many cars can a steam engine pull?"  I know the answer is not simple as there are many variables.  I have searched the web, MRH, and I have visited and read Al Krug's web site. Great info, but I am still confused.  I am just looking for a general rule of thumb that will get me in the ballpark.  For that lets ignore environmental factors like temperature, wind resistance, rain, grease, etc.

Having trouble getting headlight to work.  Had to place the green wire on the empty pin for the mars light which works fine.  Digitrax could not advise any further.  Has any one had this problem and if so what is the solution.
