MTH and Corgi Busses

Thanks Rattler21 for the quick reply.

The problem with O scale passengers is they take up both of the two seats.

Well, I like to use the smaller scales for kids, but for full size passengers, some of the O-scale work, and if you can find them, S-scale figures work well.  The problem with S-scale figures is they're very scarce, and if you find them, they're expensive!

I buy standing and sitting people, on the EBay We Honest website, although I’ve used them enough to bookmark them to get to them directly.

They do now show figures in 1:43 and 1:50 scale.  The 1:50 works much better in my busses as well as passenger cars

I used the ebay people to populate a MTH bus, legs removed of course.

For populating many railcars and buses I use the 1/50 Ebay specials from WeHonest.   Of course, they all appear to be refugees from the mob with their legs cut off but from outside they look happy enough.   

Capisce?

I try to mix the Chinese people with K-Line, Lionel, and GG Little People to have some variety in the passengers.  One time a few years ago, I found several hundred S-scale people for a reasonable price, and I've never seen them again!  Those seem to be the perfect size for many of the O-gauge cars.  With the larger people, sometimes they need surgery to get properly seated.

OK, I had to look this up to make sure before I posted this.

- The typical plural in US and British English of "bus" is "buses" (although: "busses" is rare, but not wrong, it seems - I did not know that).

- a "buss" is a kiss, and the plural of "buss" is indeed "busses".

Whenever I see "busses" on the Forum, I don't think of public transportation.

(How important is this? Well, this is a hobby of minutiae...) 

Frustrated English teacher no doubt.

Cabin car! 😂

I used those older circus people for a school bus.
