To my knowledge the scale is not given because it is not modeled after a specfic engine. 10 wheelers came in a varity of sizes. I think the "nominal" scale is 22.5.

Nominally 1:22.3 scale.  In this scale, it represents a smallish narrow gauge locomotive.  But I use them in 1:29 scale to represent standard gauge locomotives.  They look even better as standard gauge locomotives if you lower the cab height a little, say 1/2" or so.
