MTH Husky Stack Question

I saw some running in a mixed consist with the Premier cars.  I thought it looked OK, but it was a pretty long train and IIRC, it looked like they had transition cars (a coupled of box cars or flat cars) between the two.  I have all RK but I also run the RK SD70ACE so that doesn't help

Hopefully someone else has a better response!

run only one container they look fine

I have done it on National Capital Tracker layouts with other members Premier/Scale cars from Lionel, MTH, etc - I think it looks a little funny. I bought the BNSF RTR set in 2010 right after it was released. I later purchased 3 more add-on cars (a BNSF, Conrail, and NYC) and am likely going to list the Conrail and New York Central on the Buy/Sell Forum next week. 

The RailKing containers in RailKing Husky-Stacks cars are extra tall when compared to Lionel containers in Lionel MAXI-Stack cars.

The Premier's were just too big for my layout.

The Railking Husky Stacks are actually my favorites to run with.  I've got about 30 of them.  They look fine when running as a unit train with a scale loco.  I avoid running them with the Lionel 027 (S gauge) double stacks because they look a little too awkward.

The Railking cars hold containers that are 34 scale feet long, or about 8 1/2". The Premier cars are capable of holding a scale 48' container, which is 12" long. I think the Railking would look pretty short with a scale engine pulling the cars.

I've never liked the look of a train made up of all stand-alone well cars anyway. I recently started to lower and articulate the Premier cars into 5-car sets which really look cool and are very prototypical. Here's some pics- you can see how much lower they ride:
