Welcome to the expensive wonderful world of LEGO trains! I'm sure you'll love it, even if your wallet doesn't. 

I believe that the pallets are compatible, in that they're both LEGO. The 60169 pallets are the standard 4x6 studs, whereas 60052 has slightly over-sized 4x8. However, the smaller ones will sit on the train easily, and a minor modification (removing the slope pieces inside) will allow both sizes to fit in the containers. If you take a few more parts off the wagons, you could probably put the containers straight onto it as well. The ability to change anything you like is the beauty of LEGO.

Incidentally, the entire containers from 60169 are fully compatible with those in the new-for-2018 60198 Cargo Train, so you might want to consider that set too. The only thing is the power functions (batteries & remote controls) aren't the same between 60052 and 60198, but everything else will work together perfectly.

Whatever you do, I hope you enjoy your trains, and that you'll stick around and share what you create.

You mean she's one of these?

They're just curvy on the ends (grin, couldn't resist).
