This is the scale of the carts in my train. Up to six of these.

   https://objects.lib.uidaho.edu/riegger/riegger171.jpg

Look in the lower right corner of the picture for the cart.

The cart is likely to be that high, so as to match the floor
level of the train car it pulls up beside. There should be a tongue
on one end of the cart, that fastens to a coupler on the
other end of the cart. When the tongue is in the upright position,
it can be applying friction brakes to the front two wheels. That helps
prevent your train from rolling away, when you disconnect the tractor
from the front tongue.

And rolling stock like that, is as old as the hills, and
Adam and Eve used to haul those around. But good solid construction.
You don't have to worry about it falling apart.
