I'd consider raising the cost of the Colossus and Cyclops as dropping the
transport ability realy isn't that big of a loss. Also are the land train
stats for how many cars? Also you might consider making seperate Crit
charts for the Various engines as you can use that to represent how "tough"
they are. Some WE take catastropic damage sooner than others ect.

I'd think about making the LandTrain a Seperate Detachment. You buy the
Engine as its "command" and the cars as "Main Force" with berserkers
avalible as support if you buy the proper car.
