Thanks for posting these photos,

The Plasticville brings back memories of my 1949 layout, all buildings were Plasticville.

Maybe someone like you with lots of Plasticville could start a topic

" Show us your Plasticville "

Now there's a branding opportunity if I ever saw one!

Jim has a fabulous assortment of people...the hot dog guy here appears to move from layout to layout...no wonder his business is thriving...

Hey guys,

Check out the Citizens of Warrenville series on my website.

Here is one of them: Some Notable Citizens of Warrenville

I like your Notable Citizens of Warrensville.

Teeple's Peeple actually reside in Warren, Ohio

Navigation issues...

The "Boss" arrives at the station headed to the big city...

Turns out I had some Plasticville on the layout and did not even realize it.

Teeple’s People also reside in My Little Town (great song by Paul Simon):

John, your narrative is always very entertaining. How/where did you get all these interesting figures?

Thanks Jay

41 years of train shows, flea markets, gift shops while traveling, etc is where I found most of these figures.

Some were customized. For example, Superman was made from a common Plasticville (LifeLike?) painter figure. I made his cape from a small piece of cloth sprayed red for stiffness, painted his costume and stuck a piece of piano wire up his *** so that he is in a flying pose.

How do you guys attach your people or do you just let them stand alone?

A small drop of hotglue

i put them on clear plastic base, or on many of them I attach a wire on one leg before painting  that fits  into a hole drilled into the layout.  Makes it easy to lift off  to vacuum

Paperboys found in the figure box:

Barclay, Manoil, Plasticville, Selley, and Lledo, standard gauge, O-gauge, and S-gauge...the late edition is covered.
