I too, really like the 3/16" 8-wheel litho cars. Great memories of my hand-me-down Marx 999 set with a NYC box car, black low side gondola, possibly another car (tank?), and the NYC caboose. That little set ran many miles during my brief ownership. (2 years? Gave it to my younger cousin shortly after receiving my Lindberg Lines HO set for Christmas 1962.)
I think the 3/16" 8-wheel litho cars are nicely proportioned and would look GREAT behind a 333!
They look really good with a scale type backdrop behind them. Here's a pic of some 3/16" cars I posed in front of the urban backdrop I have in place on this bench work. They look pretty good, don't they?

They do look good with that background!
