Populating My Cars - O Guage Folks

That is one busy passenger line!

 

What size are your figures, I use similar ones, but these look to be the next size up.

I use those same ones, and the 1/75 figures for the domes. Poses are minimal but they get the job done.

Well, if you believe the listing, they are all 1:50.

 

But the little gals sit in the GGD benches well, while the Chinese Munster guys are hulking brutes! Hard to get their butts into the seats. So, hard to accept they are uniform in "guageness."

 

I have some marvelously detailed figures that came in my MTH cars! These, OTOH, are primitive!  But cheap!

 

The gals are fetching and busty, though!

Not done yet and the pix are poor, but you might find them of interest.

Gentlemen,

   K-Line had some real nice Army men that I use on my SF Army Train, and thru out most all of the rolling stock, and on top of the engines.

I have a bunch of the 1:50 ones, but they're kinda' large for most cars, the 1:64 S-scale ones seem best, but I can't find them nowadays.

They look really nice, Crank.

Who makes them?

Yes EC, yours seem to fit nicely. Whose are they?
Ray.

No one will see the faces as the train goes by. You are good to go.

Hi Crank, your figures are a perfect fit. Those installed by manufacturers aren't any more perfect. Please tell us who makes them, what size they are, and were we can buy them. Thanks.

RailKing figures painted with flat acrylic paint. These are approx. 1:64 scale perfect for MTH passenger cars, etc.

 

All are in sitting position shown on waiting room benches.

 

 

Thanks for the kind comments, guys.

 

The figures shown in my post above are a mixture of 1:48 "Passengers" and "People Sitting" from Woodland Scenics (expensive), 1:48 and 1:50 O Scale Seated Figures assortments from China (less expensive and cheap), and the original GGD figures included with the cars.  Many have been modified and repainted to camouflage the inevitable duplication.

 

The WS figures are way to costly (and heavy) to populate the train, so I just use them in the high visibility domes and obs end. The Chinese figures are available on e.Bay, and I 

received mine within 2 weeks or ordering. The 1:50 figures are identical to the ones used by Terry Danks and shown in his original post. They are an easier fit, especially in the tighter spaces of the GGD car interiors. Like Terry, I too need a lot of passengers, and I'm looking for new sources.

Do you remember which of the Chinese (Hong Kong?) suppliers you got yours from? I have tried a few on the auction site ("eB") and they don't look as suitable as yours. OTOH there are some real characters in the mix and I don't mean Munsters.

Hancock,

Terry,

 

My wife and I loved your comments about the various passengers.

 

Thanks,
