How would the Liberty Lines 600E look with those showroom cars, I wonder?

A 600E is an extended 400E. In Tinplate it would better with regular State Cars. Although it would be more in scale with Showroom cars.

That sounds funny but most here know about O gauge. A scale Hudson looks very small with 21" scale cars. Especially when pulling about 15 cars which is what the real ones did. We were used to a scale Hudson pulling about 4 16" cars. Then about 8 18" cars. Then came the prototypical train and it just takes a while to get used to it.

In Standard Gauge the engines are generally oversized for the engines. The extreme example is a 400E pulling Blue Comet cars. It is just wrong but we are used to it.
