Most of the LC stuff is traditional, but stuff like the A5 and the Camelback were scale sized.  I suspect the Dockside switcher will be close to scale sized for an 0-6-0 as well.

The FTs, NW2 switchers, and the GP-7s and GP-9s are scale-sized as well, so a significant number of the diesels are scale-sized. Other than the A5, Camelback and Docksider, all of the steamers are the smaller traditional size, that I'm aware of. 

My LC+ NH FAs shown below are definitely traditional size:20180427_210805

Only 1 of the FA units is powered so it is not a great puller. It can pull a few Postwar passenger cars and about 8 modern light weight freight cars, so it is only OK as a puller. Otherwise, it runs, smokes and sounds great, and I think it looks great too, so I am glad I have it.

If both FA units were powered. I think it would have been a great puller and could haul 10+ heavy operating box cars like the Lionel Postwar operating coal/ore dump cars, which are among my very favorites. Arnold
