What if we made two separate sections that you could add or remove? Even better, let's add a special vehicle to the front, with a trained driver. To aid the driver; rails. Oh, more people want to join? Let's add a hitch system to the front and back of each "car" so we can add as many as we want.
Why did my brain go to motorcycle sidecar when you said a separate section you can remove? But yeah trains are the correct solution, this is coming from someone who loves his 01 Tacoma.
Yo, not bad.
Check it; double rail.. side by side connectable trains. Somehow.
Modern designs are too limited. Make a 20 foot separation between the rails, giant 4x4 train.
That was actually a thing the Germans did on a few occasions, if memory serves they had to link the tow trains for the Gustav Railway Gun. I think it's also been done on occasion for smaller locomotives to move overloaded cars.
