As far as the scale size goes, they look fine to me, and I have modified some of them to be radio control, so that I can actually drive them on my layout. I even made some dump trucks that actually work, it makes things come alive, and the grand kids love it.

I agree with Paul. Go to eBay. Do a search for these two brands and safe the search. You’ll get notified when they become available.

I have used Oxford Diecast and Mini Metals for the majority of vehicles on my layout. Oxford brand is cheaper than the Mini Metals. But good prices can usually be found on eBay.
