Neglected to mention:

Though the previous discussion centered on Lionel's trailers, I 
should point out that the highway tractors (cabs) that Lionel sells 
ARE 1/64th scale, except for a slight widening of the rear wheel 
base, probably blend better with the (too wide) trailers. The sleeper 
section of the cab is 8' 3" wide in 1/64 scale, a very realistic 
figure. With a little work, the rear wheels could be adjusted to 
conform to the proper 1/64 scale width.

The cabs are cast from what seems to be old Shinsei tooling. I have a 
couple of Shinsei trucks that have cabs identical to Lionel's, except 
that the Lionel versions do not have separate headlights. The tooling 
has apparently been re-worked to simplify manufacture.
