I have a NYC steam engine collection which includes G, O, S, OO, HO, TT, N, and Z scale. Here is my question - the pictured Hallmark ornament is a total of 3 1/2 inches long. Would that be close, and I know they don't make steam in T, but as an example of size would it be close to T scale? Any thoughts?

T scale is 1:450, and is for better eyes than mine  

 

At 3 1/2" in T scale the ornament scales out at almost the same length as Big Boy; 132 ft. Not too far off, but somewhere between Z scale and N scale. If the NYC Hudsons are about 95-100 ft long with tender, say 65 ft for the locomotive? Then the ornament is about 1:222 or so?

Glad to be of at least some minimal assistance.  I love your focus of collecting NYC steamers in all scales available.  I have done the same with ATSF streamlined diesels, but haven't been able to score a 'T' one as of yet.
