Farm Scene

Tractor Supply has animals in several scales.

Try scenic express.

   You might get lucky at a dollar store's toy and knick-knack isles as well. Though some figures can be painted seasonally, poorly, etc.  some you can hide that with repaints of different colors, covering vampire teeth, etc.etc. Always worth a check imo. Not every figure is close to you  in need of high detail imo, color and proportional fit can be enough. (Not to say all toys have bad detail. It varies, some is great.)

The right colors in the right place and an ear/tail/foot trim might give you a sheep, dog, or lion from a few feet away.

This is an Ertl toy farm set, Animal size more to S  scale than O.   

Check out Scenic Accents, most of these sets are available thru Scenic Express

David,

try a Hobby Lobby store if there is one near you.

No sir, I will re-visit that site. I think the figures come individually and not in groups. 

I picked up all the figures at train shows, nothing exotic...

Woodland Scenics has a couple of cow sets.  Some of the other sets have figures that would be appropriate for farm scenes.

Hey Tom,

I will check it out. Thanks!

Great stuff guys 

Erik,

Low key, I have been going back into older threads and looking at this. This is truly the standard in farm scenes that I have seen. Please share your secrets. Where did you get your figures? The man in the corn stalks gives me the creeps because he looks like he is coming for me but oh well, lol.

Erik

Your farm equipment looks to be close to 1/48

Is that correct and if so, who made it ?

Eric, you have a wheatland farmall pulling a corn picker,  need to find a nice row crop tractor there, otherwise excellent work, especially the barn, looks so real,   also for the original poster, cows often hang in a bunch so as to keep the flys at bay, try that and see how you like it.

You might also try Preiser on eBay and at some retail. 

Thanks for all the suggestions. I finally settled on some figures. Still waiting on the train to bring in my shipment of cattle and that aspect of the farm will be completed. Here are a few pics and more are on my layout progress thread.

Here my farm and produce stand .

Guy, nice work.  One of the nicest farm scenes displayed on the forum I think.  I think your produce prices are reasonable too!  😏

Very nice!

Really nice pictures throughout the entire thread.  I don't often see farms modeled in O gauge, which I've always attributed to how much space they take up.  But as these pictures show, they don't have to take up a lot of space.

That is in a corner of the layout it doesn't take up much space .
