MilwRdPaul - Martin H is right - some people are not helpful, and don't try to be.
It "matters" to you, or you wouldn't have asked the question.
So, though there are some good answers above, you are correct about Traditional,
Rail King and the smaller K-line being around 1/50-something. The scale but sub-O
K-Line Allegheny was advertised as "1:58" as I recall (I have one; nice loco). Even the
compressed RK/Trad pieces will fit in this size zone.
But, so far as I can remember, K-Line was the only one of the "majors" who offered
actual sub-O-Scale -Scale- Models (1:58, or 1:64 in the ex-Marx 4-6-2). The others, and much of K-Line's lower-end product, were compressed or approximated in some way.
Very nicely, though, in many cases.
Another sweet K-Line locomotive was the scale 1:58 4-6-2 and 2-8-2 (same boiler); they run beautifully, and look pretty accurate.
The tiny "bantam" pieces are anybody's guess - S-scale-ish, really (as was Lionel's
PW Pennsy 6-8-6 Turbine, I have always felt; Lionel should produce an AF
version of it...).
