Seeing those videos with the engines in their element, I am a little impressed by their speed and how they handle the steep hills, but the detail is still a little bit squished and awkward looking. It looks like the engines are only meant to be pulling 1-2 cars and sure, I can see how that wasn't thought of and not "meant" to happen, even I keep my engines with two or three cars with my OCD, but the Plarail, Motor Road and Rail, and old TrackMaster engines could pull loads of cars without struggling and it probably wasn't intentional.
I can understand the old TrackMaster engines not working too well on the grey track, but it looks like for the new engines' backwards compatibility, they were just tested one on a circuit of brown track, went through a bridge and tunnel, didn't work with one old destination and the development and testing sections of Fisher-Price just went, "Yeah works basically but it probably doesn't work with more of the technical destinations so let's just stick a warning."
