thanks jward and rich. sorry for mentioning the other range, but i couldnt figure out another way of explaining the size difference. i just tried running the jupe with a bachmann CN box car i bought and it looked a bit rediculous, the car towers over the loco, lol.
the excursion cars wouldnt look too big for the loco?

the shop i got my loco from gave me last years catalogue and i saw one set that was based on stagecoach cars which looked nifty. they would suit the jupiter but again i dont know about the size difference.
be neat if there was a program where you could use a picture of the loco and select different wagons and it would show how they would look in real life. the store i went to has a great range but they mainly focus on diesels and freight trucks.

thanks again. i will check out the suggestions

greetings all! my name is charley and i live in little ol new zealand. im a member of the wanganui model railway club and collect the trackmaster/tomy thomas the tank engine ranges.

i just picked up my first "real" loco yesterday, the bachmann 4-4-0 jupiter and was wondering if excursion cars would look ok as rolling stock? i also bought a model power canadian classic HO set and 1 wagon from that set is the same size as my loco. so would the excursion cars be too big? its hard to tell from photos. i dont want to use standard boxcars or tankers as everyone at the club im a member of has those. i want something unique.

looking forward to any replies.
