385e with 400 series passenger cars?

The larger steamers such as the 392e and 400e were paired with the 400-series passenger cars, so the 385e might look a little small. Coupler height will likely be different too, but I'm sure that can be modified. On the other hand, we're talking tinplate, so pretty much anything goes. If you like how it looks, that's all that matters.

Thanks for the reply John 

Heck, I'd go for it. The 385E is a little bigger than the 390 or 384,  just a short 392E

so got to thinking - which 400 series cars: state cars, blue comet, the earlier 430 series?  Engine may be too small for State cars, great for blue comet, marginal for the 430 series.
