The real story on Moondog is they went thru a nasty  Divorce & his wife ended up w/ the business!!  He wouldn't tell her where he had the products made,   So she went out on her own to keep the Co. going !!'  The price doubled, the quality went downhill & she eventually lost the business!  END of STORY !!' That's all I used on a 40' X 50' Layout.

What a shame. (I wonder if she's happy now.) Like you, I sure used a lot of them too....

It can be fun to add some more, or move around, the Little People on your layout. Here are some of my Latest Little People:

That politician is everywhere.  I have a picture of him campaigning a few years ago at a Christmas Parade.

And you did say little people ( sorry, I couldn't resist)

Love this thread Arnold!! 

I read (on another forum) about the "dip" method: you take a painted person and dip it in whatever product you have that will get into the crevices to bring out the detail.

This guy is one of those fairly lousy K-Line figures that came to me un-painted. The jacket (brown) and pants (maroon) are actually 2 different colors, but the stain made them look almost the same:

The only thing I had on hand was some Minwax "Red Oak": I think it's too dark, and dries glossy. I gave this fellow (2) shots of Dullcote, and it'll still pretty shiny, but I think if I had some lighter stain, this technique just might work...(?)

Speaking of politician's. 

Arnold, growing up in the Bronx on a street between the Grand Concourse and Jerome Avenue means I saw that 161st ST Yankee Stadium Station sign countless times.  By the way, I'm glad to see you're interests have returned to your trains.
