Hey team!
Figured I’d ask the experts.
Does anyone know a vendor selling mid-late 19th century figures for O scale ? Building a micro layout around a Lionel General ( and no I do not want to do Civil War lol I reenact that !) But it seems there is not a passable source for figures of this era…everyone who used to vent the pieser ones and the model power ones are out of stock.
Cheers,
Walter

Shapeways, Andrew Stadden have them. JohnA
Awesome ! I’ve seen their stuff but they appear unpainted. My hands are a wreck so I’ve been hoping to not have to go that route. I will be if needed, but it’s something I’d rather not do.
cheers
Search the auction sites for Edwardian or Victorian Figures. Most are produced in the UK and there are vendors there who specialize in these.

I’ve been exploring those and scouring eBay. Sadly all I’m finding are either unpainted( again I have bad carpal tunnel so painting miniatures are really hard for me ) or ones for British OO
cheers

Andrew Stadden offers all their figures painted. The internet is your friend. JohnA
Most of what you can find for 19th century civilians in O will be unpainted. Do not forget to search for cowboys, because they can frequently be used for laborers. For figures that will be placed back from the front edge of the table you might also want to check out the range of 28mm figures. They come in between O and S scale.
