Did you read the OP?

Expected arrival is early July to the Port of NY (actually docking at Port Elizabeth, NJ).

Well, I did now, glad it is going to the east coast, but I would have preferred one of the Southern Terminals, less traffic for the trucks.

I’ve enlarged the pics and reviewed them carefully (and perhaps I’ve missed it with my old eyes) but what SCALE are these figures?

They're O-scale, but I find the seated BEEP people are too big for many O-scale passenger cars.  The GG Little People or the Lionel 21" car passengers seem to be a bit smaller and fit better.

Seating in passenger cars IMO highlights the varying definitions of O-Scale that we deal with. Manufacturers often compress the exteriors of cars; of course that means interiors may get compressed as well. Figures to fit passenger cars are much closer to 1/64 than to 1/48. I look forward to having these BEEP figures - I have plenty of parks and stations calling for seated figures, and the figures meant for passenger cars are just too small...

One thing puzzles me... the package of seated figures indicates the set contains six identical sets of eight different figures. That makes sense in practical terms. However, it appears that each of the six sets is painted in the same color scheme. How much do they save by doing that? Fortunately I enjoy painting tiny figures...

Excuse my ignorance but what exactly are GG little people?

Walter, I'm really looking forward to those ore cars!

"Excuse my ignorance but what exactly are GG little people?"    GG is for Golden Gate - short for Golden Gate Depot

Hmm, . . . how come all of the standing men with coats look like the crew from The Sopranos?

Oh, wait, . . . I see.  RMT is headquartered in New Jersey.

Depends how "BEEFY" they are . . .LOL!

MichRR714...when they arrive later this year, you will be very happy.

They are NOT any other company's toolng. It is all brand new tooling produced in RMT's factory that makes trains only for RMT. True 3-rail O-scale and O-gauge!

mannyrock...they seem to be little imitations of Bobby Baccala

HiramO...they are all related and buy their clothes from the same tailor!

And by the way, appreciate your size explanation too.

Walter, I see you know my taste well. 😊

Thanks for doing these along with the other Northern Michigan roads.
