Likely, they will derail (be ready to turn off the power to the likely short circuit) and be annoying because of it. If they don't, and if the looks of the "overhang" of the cars doesn't bother you, you're good to go.

Thanks jcr, and yeah I figured I might have to at least set them on the track and roll them around or test run one slowly with the old engine & z750 just to see how they fit (out of curiousity, like that which killed the cat . Luckily the cars are not from a brand new boxed set or anything like that, and hopefully this would not hurt the transformer.
