Ohh, yes it could pull it as long as it has enough tractive effort. From my experience, this could probably pull a 30 car train (regular cars, not specialty).
How you could evaluate the "pulling load" from the locomotive weight?

Just by looking at it. I've had years of "experience," so to speak, and judging by how many driving wheels it has (tractive effort), and boiler size (weight), I can estimate how many cars it can pull.

Yesterday I had a discussion with an expert: such locotender could pull 400-500 tons.
A more standard steam loco (I mean Italian pre-ww2) could pull from 700 till 1000 tons. The German 52 (normally known as kriegslok) should exceed 1200 tons.
Coming back to midgets each one has a weigth of 36 tons plus the wagon (let's say 4-6 tons); six of them means less than 250 tons...
A very interesting exercize!
