Which engines in the LionChief Plus line are truly built to scale. I really like them but only want to get scale ones they made.

As far as I know the NW2 is built to scale, or extremely close to scale.
Nice! I ordered the newly offered scale one in the NYO&W Colors. But I might get one of the LC+ Units too.
As mentioned, the NW2 is pretty close, I believe. The camel-back is also scale. As far as I know those are the only ones right now.

Sweet! How about the A5s how are those?
If the old K-Line tooling they are derived from is they are.
I'm pretty sure they used the K-line tooling for them.

hello Allin.........
The Atlas "O" and MTH Railking NW-2, SW-8,9 switchers are scale in size. Not sure about the Williams NW-2 but they sure look husky and good looking. I have a Railking NW-2 and measured it to, my surprise it is scale.

The K-Line A-5 is scale sized, I have that one.
The camelback is built to scale.
The FT's are scale.
This same question seems to pop up regularly. In the LionChief line, the FTs, NW switchers, GP-7s, GP-9s and GP-38s are essentially scale in size (1/48). The Alco FAs and Rectifiers are smaller than scale. In the LionChief line of steam engines, the Camelbacks are scale, and all the other steam engines are smaller than scale.

Don't forget the A5 steamer.

Are the 0-4-0 A5's scale also?
Edit: Nevermind just saw previous post. thanks
Gentlemen,
This is good info, I have been looking at a LC+ Camelback, might pick that particular engine up, to add to the Christmas layout.

I have a TMCC Camelback and am happy with it.
The Hogwarts / Albert Halls are scale.
I didn't realize the Hogwart's locomotives were scale, but I know the Camelback and A5 are scale, at least according to my measurements.
