The flying part was weird but all you needed was the flux capacitor for time travel. The vehicle didnt matter.
But yea the train flying and the technology didnt necessarily jive with the movie.

Once he's got a working train TM, he can travel wherever he wants to get stuff to fix the TM2 sitting in the cave.
Why use the TM2 parts to build a TM train, travel through time to get the parts to build a new TM, put the TM parts back into TM2, hide it in a cave, write a letter for Marty to be delivered in 1955? Doc could have just traveled forward to 1955 to get Marty in the train TM built with TM2 parts?

Another thing. Why didn't they just get gas from the Delorean that Doc hid in the cave? He and Marty could have just gotten the gas and leave the Cave Delorean for Marty to find in 1955. They could have even used the fuel line from the Cave Delorean to repair the busted fuel line.

Maybe he does do that? All that matters is that 1955 Marty needs to get back to the west to help Doc. How he gets there on each subsequent time loop can change drastically. All we know for certain is that the first time it happens is because Doc left him a letter and buried the original TM1 for him to find in 1955. The problem I think with your scenario is that if Doc picks up Marty in 1955 in the train TM and sends him back to the west to help west Doc, there is no longer a second delorean in the west for Doc to use to build train TM once Marty takes the TM1 back to 1985.
Now this is all predicated on the fact Doc thinks you can't meet your time doppleganger, otherwise obviously he can just take the train TM once its built and go back to himself in the west and give him the parts he needs. This all gets very convoluted as you can tell

Not a problem. Doc flies to 1955 in Train TM and tells Marty to hop in the Delorean and go back to 1885. Then Doc just meets him when he arrives at the cave.
Kind of like when Bill and Ted steal the father's lost keys, before they get lost, and place them behind the sign. OK... Whoa! It worked!

This is why time travel makes my head hurt
If there were 2 time machines in 1885 after Marty travels back, wouldn't it be possible to create and endless loop and create an infinite number of time machines?

All 3 movies revolve around the idea that time travel is difficult and dangerous.
In the average Joe's hands (Marty) not a in scientist's (Doc). At the end of the third movie, Doc goes off to use the machine as he originally intended.

BTTF2 had a much bigger continuity problem. In 1985a, Doc was in a mental institution. That means he couldn't get plutonium from the Libyans and power the first flux capacitor.
The ripple effect has already removed Biff from 2015a, so it should also have removed the time machine from the alternate timeline. That means no Delorean to send back to 1955 to get the almanac.
