I think it looks great and it says the engine will do 031 curves but those cars look awfully long for 036.

Check the pages for the separate cars. Do they also say O31? I am going to order the set and run it on O44ish curves. Probably still overhang those quite a bit but should run okay.
I was interested in that set but really doubt those cars will navigate O31 or even O36 curves. At best, they'll make it around but overhang will be noticeable beyond what I'd want.
I'm ordering one of the new LC Plus 2.0 Amtrak Genesis locos and have already picked up some Williams Amtrak Passenger cars to run behind it. They are 15 inches and will look much better on my smaller curves. MTH also has some passenger sets that would look good.
The trucks are 4-wheelers, so the cars should navigate the O31 curves. But the overhang would require tremendous clearances, would likely hang up on tight postwar switches and generally would look odd. But the latter is a matter of preference. Your call.
The cars are a little over 18-1/2" long. Reliable operation on O31/O36 would probably be iffy at best.
