I got this Lionel 0-27 dome car in today. It has nice figures that fit very well. I haven't seen these figures anywhere and I have looked for figures for my passenger cars many times over the years. I don't know if these came from the factory with the figures installed. A search for Lionel figures turned up nothing that resembled the figures in this car. I bought it from Trainz, so I am sure this is part of a collection they bought and I doubt they have any info about these figures. I really would like to buy more figures like these if I can find them.

Thanks,

I recognize almost all of those, including Silver Medallion Lady in the first snapshot, as MTH Railking passenger figures. There are several different sets of these (with about a dozen figures per set) still available through auctions and dealers although I think MTH hasn’t produced them in a while. 

P.S. They are a good fit because the interiors of most MTH/Lionel cars are closer to S Scale than true O and these figures are a good deal smaller than O too.

Thanks for the info. I have seen the MTH figure sets but never really noticed the the details until I got this car. They look a lot better in person than in on-line photos. Are the MTH unpainted figures the same size and are they the same molds as the prepainted figures?

The unpainted figures are the same size and are the same molds/characters as the painted ones although there’s more variety in the unpainted figures pack (I think there’s over a hundred in it) than in the 12-packs of painted figures you can find any more.
