RailKing is not scale-proportioned unless it says "Scale" on the box.
There are a few exceptions in their rolling-stock lineup (models of prototypes that were small-ish to begin with like ore cars), but it you're prone to being confused by this stuff, you'll be better off not trying to memorize them till you've gained enough experience to be comfortable comparing prototype dimensional data with similar-looking models.
