Really Big Scale?

Hello, fellow modelers. Does anyone know if there is a standard
scale/gauge associated with those outdoor model railroads that often have
a steam-powered locomotive that can carry one individual who operates the
vehicle from a sitting position? The loco is usually coupled to several
cars each of which can carry several passengers. Thanks for your time and
comment. Sincerely,

Thanks for the info, gents. It would never have occurred to me to use "live steam" as a search term. Sincerely,
