I’d have liked to see him succeed with the steel on steel option. I think he just needed multiple drive wheels to distribute the normal force more, and a bin holder over the locomotive. The route seemed rather flat. He might have also been handicapped by not having it entirely on rail, trains have low rolling resistance because of steel on steel but in some spots, he had worse of both worlds, driving on steel and rolling on pavement.
