I like metal figures for my layout better than plastic. Is the Barclay "midi" or "pee wee" line more appropriate for O scale size?
Thanks and have a great day.

I would use Artista. I use Barcly with my Standard Gauge.
The "Midi" line gets its name from being "midway" between O and Standard gauge...I just finished adding another 2 or 3 dozen figures to the "midi" line, just give me a chance to clean up the pictures and get them up on the web-site! I'm also changing around the web-site a little bit, I'm adding what I call "Roto-Vue", which is an animated GIF for each figure, so you can get a 360 degree all around view of the item....Right now, it's only available on some of the "Pee-Wee League" listings, but please stop by the web-site and let me know what you think of the new format!
Jeff: What's your website?
Oh, stupid me, sorry....I kinda thought you knew me & the site....
I use the European figures (54 MM, i.e. Britains) on my O gauge layout. They are to big, but if you don't put them right on trains, rather on station platforms etc. they sort of work, that is if one has loose standards about scale. I got into this as my Grandmother collected these on trips to Scotland. Britains made civilians (good for stations) farm figures and garden stuff, all of which I use. I find they really add to the layout and connect me with my grandmother.

Jeff V.:
Nice update on your website. The 360 view a great improvement and I'm glad to see you are doing "new" figures. Hope you bring a good selection to October YORK.

Thanks for the feedback! Good to get an objective opinion before I get too deep into it....It's a huge job, as you can imagine, I have to re-photograph every figure I make, and when you factor in the Christmas stuff I bring in from Germany, you can get a feel for how massive an undertaking this is! I really do have to spiffy up the site though, it's embarrassing now, I'm finding some things with out of stock messages from 2008!! Like I tell you when we speak, that's the problem with being the little guy, no matter what I'm doing, there's always like 10,800 seemingly more important things to do....at least now that I know somebody out there thinks it's an improvement, now I don't feel so much like I'm wasting my time....Thanks again!
