Do you have any scale sized steam locomotives? If so the Railking Santa Fe 2900 class Northern is going to look tiny next to them. What size curves do you have? If you have 054+ I would consider the Premier Santa Fe 2900 class. It's scale and massive (30+ inches long). https://www.mthtrains.com/20-3670-1
I have it's slightly larger brother, the 5011 class 2-10-4 Texas, and it is an imposing model. https://www.mthtrains.com/20-3161-1

I'm actually more curious about the sounds. I have 0-36 curves on my layout.
The Imperial RK line is normally some nicely detailed locomotive for smaller layouts, I suspect you'd be quite happy with it.

Yes. Years ago I had one (an early PS1 version; same tooling) and found it very presentable - but, having 072 curves it soon became too small for its companions. It's actually a pretty fair replica. I sold mine.
If you stick to the RK steamers it will look quite nice; any diesels are going to look big though, as most of them are 1:48, regardless of line (RK or Premier).
