Hi Terry how are you,
My guess is between 1/43 and 1/50, I have one, and I took a few photo's of it with a ruler next to it. I checked out the box and the truck thoroughly, but can't fine size on it. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Alex

Most of the Corgi Lionelville trucks are 1:50
One exception is this New York Central which is listed as 1:48. I have one of these and it matches up just fine with the 1:50 stuff. I really like all of the Corgi trucks.
I think EastonO was referring to the tractor trailers made by Lionel not Corgi, 1st Gear or anyone else. The Lionel manufactured T/T's are definately small and seem close to 1/64.
I have one (surplus to my needs) still in the box. It appears closer to 1:43 to me....
Thank you all much for the replies! Terry
Lionel has made/licensed a lot of different models. I bought one Peterbilt or Kenworth 18-wheeler years ago that definately was 1:64 - just didn't look right, but most seem to be closer to 1:50.
Lionel tractor trailers are smaller than scale so a number higher than 1:48
My estimate is roughly 1:59 if it is modeling a 40' container or 1:66 if modeling a 45' container
