Pete;
Mixing scale sized and traditional size equipment is an age old quandry. It all boils down to your tolerance for 'suspension of disbelief'.
If you don't mind the size disparity, by all means mix away. I have found if you run separate loops i.e. not side by side, it's not that big of an issue. To me is when you mix the two styles in the same train that gets awkward. All that said, I got completely out of RK and run 100% scale. That's my choice. I have less rolling stock ($$), but everything works good together. I did retain some traditional size items, but run them as trainsets and that's mostly older (PW & MPC) Lionel.
By the way, the scale Ace's are AWESOME.
Thanks Cliff. I agree that mixing scales within the same train does appear odd. I would not, for example, mix a RK with Premier SD because it looks just odd too me. However, I don't speak for everyone, but was curious what others might think about this. I miss the set, but in reality, I am knee deep in scaled locomotives now.
It's too late to turn back now. LOL
Thanks and Merry Christmas to you.
Pete
