What is the scale of these cars?  For my tastes, they look too small to work well with most Standard Gauge trains and accessories.  However, they should be perfect for O gauge tinplate. 

For SG, I prefer using 1930's era "pressed steel" vehicles in 1/32 to 1/25 scale such as the fire engines by Girard or Marx:

Girard Fire Chief Auto 1

City Fire Dep't

pressed steel buses by Keystone or Kingsbury:

and pressed steel trucks, cars and trailers by Wyandotte:

As for die cast, I prefer 1930's era casting by Arcade:

Arcade Buick

or their modern era reproductions by Pride Lines:

The size of all these seems to work well with my mostly 1/32 scale SG trains and accessories. 

Some day I may be able to afford a modern era die cast truck or car by Tom Sehloff,
