Military Passengers

Only MTH apparently!   I too would like to find those figures, I have a set of cars that have them and they're really neat.

I used the O Gauge reproduction seated army figures

I’m not familiar with those - where do I find them?  I did a quick search and nothing seemed to pop up.  Thanks for your help!

RMT also made these. I bought a bunch from one of their going out of business sales. I have yet to use them.

Thank you all for your help!

Thanks from me too!

I bought some used MTH SF Premier passenger cars with those figures in and thought the previous owner installed them. I was blown away at the paint job and detail they have. They actually compelled me to add GRJ's LED light kits so that they stood out better without them looking like they were in a thunder storm. MTH hit a home run using them. Check out their faces in the attached photos. RATTLER, are those K-Line the same figures as in the MTH cars?

If I had a North Shore interurban car, I would fill it to almost overflowing with sailors; heading back to Great Lakes from the Loop.

They really did a super job.  Wish they’d offer packs of the painted version - I don’t think I’d do the nice job that they had done.

My children! These figs were originally done for the MTH operating passenger platform. They were sold as a separate carded set as item number 30-11065.

Now that is cool. I seem to remember seeing a picture some other place on the forum(I believe) with service men seated on a train. We need to see more.

Thanks Jack. Looks like another good thing has come to an end.

FWIW, I left a comment on the MTH website under product suggestions asking them to redo or add military personnel to their product line.  I noted that because they are offering military vehicles in their present and recent past catalogues, it would be good to match them with personnel.

The K-Line figures are a little larger. "Chunky"?The normal MTH passenger car figure is on the less than 1/48 scale side. Smaller to fit in the cars interiors. Easily seen if you have a passenger pack and a station or street pedestrian pack side by side.

Really nice figures!  I agree MTH should run these again.
