matching big hauler cars with aristo c 16?

[maxxx]

i heard the aristo c16 are closer to 1/24 than 1/29...
would a c16 would look out of size with my big hauler passenger and freight cars?

tx in advance

The C-16 is scaled 1:24! It looks like a small engine in front of the 1:22.5 Bachmann passenger cars but not inappropriately so! The C-16 was a small engine anyway and the Bachmann cars are "dimensionally compressed" to a point where they don't look bad at all! I have one and I prefer running the Bachmann cars to the Delton ones (which are 1:24) as they look more like the prototype 3' narrow gauge cars they are modeled after.

Okay, make me drag out my pics again 

My C-16's with 3 Big Hauler cars in the consist (a perfect match in my opinion and the same size as Delton/AristoClassic, LGB, and USAT 1:24 cars) -

The Bachmann Classic (1:22), Aristo/Delton Classic and USA American series are all very close in size and will look fine with the C-16. I have plenty of photos of freight trains with varying size boxcars in the consist so the slight variations make it look more real to me, than a string of identical cars from the same manufacturer.

Enjoy.
