Short, thin freaky people need apply

Oh, the humanity...

Rusty

Bob,you got me with the title. LOL

Rusty good line. LOL

Bob I must say very nicely done

Alex

Whew...well, I was gonna say....where you gonna find any thin people?  This is America,

the land of the Big Mac.

I think that I certainly meet one of your criteria, but I may be too tall and not quite thin enough to satisfy all 3. Please can you specify the outside limits for those criteria? 

Thanks. 

hehehe...hey, a railroads gotta do, what a railroads gotta do to get passengers ...even half ones!

I'm in a mood today...I don't know....{title}...anyway I hope this either makes people{whole ones} laugh or get them inspired to try this.

...and thank you. 

Do they pay half-fare?

Rusty

Well, either the Mac's were half priced today or these folks should've gone to subway more...either way, they are now a fraction of their origonal weight...by about a 1/4!  

Nope, see origonal post please...no rate reductions reqardless..kids aren't half priced nor half kids...or adults...strict railroad!

Hmmm, roughly 5/8" tall by 1/4" wide...scale that is!

Honestly, the way they make these seats, its like the current parking lots with the skinny parking spaces where it's better to go out the back hatch!

Anyway, toss me a scale you and we'll put you up with the engineer!...watch your feet!

Neat idea.

You can put a mirror behind the people so you will create a deep vision inside the car and the other half automatically.

Andre.

I've given lots of passengers and even some engineers amputations to make them fit into the space allotted.

Really nice work!

Nice variety of people, too. But, maybe .... you should have included a long haired freaky person, too.  

Jim

Then, I assume they'll only get half way where they're going...

Rusty

AG- A mirrored wall would just make for less space, but would be a neat idea given more room...right behind that wall is a mess of stuff, so no room on this one.

John...I think we all do it - I think I just took it a step further today...bout a half step.

EBT Jim-  had that song echoing in my head even before the post...signs, signs everywhere a sign....maybe next time I'll sculpt some pony tails for a few of them...but do you know how hard it would be to try and paint tie dyed shirts...no bell bottoms- no legs/feet!

...I wore bell bottoms to grade school and had a beatles hair cut..and had nuns with rulers...I turnd out ok{I think, cept for this urge to cut people up...hehehe...oh-oh!} 

I mean a mirror film.

AG.

Nice job....please post pictures once you get it all back together.

Thanks,

Alan

Yes I was populating my new Rock Island cars last night and was thinking.... "I should rename this the Jersey Express seeing as I'm cutting off all these people's feet!"  

But I did just order 100 1/50 people from Ebay with a best offer of $24 per 100 free shipping.... not that I'm hinting at what you guys should do.

Gee, next it will be a "green eyed purple people eater"!

Man if I tried to do that I would not have any fingers left and there would be blood all over the place. Hmmm, let me think, circular or band saw?

...which half?..or quarter?

{your turn...}

Heard that loud and clear...got a link on or off the thread- I've got a vista dome that has to have complete people showing...no cheeting there.

I thought...{trouble}....that the song was one eyed, one horned flying purple people eater...if they could fly- then why take the train?

..I watched "Tool Time" too...

I will do that when they're all buttoned up...the glue needs to dry more, the few arms will need to be trimmed and repainted and then the car bodies can go back on.

...could take all the legs and toss em in the baggage area if I can get my kids to quit playing with them..

Must have been a vivisectionist in an earlier life,

Maybe put a guy with a chain saw in the baggage car and paint some blood on the floor and walls. I added people to my Doodlebug also but could not slice them down the middle! They still sit too high in the windows though.  

The item number is 261070132164.  Just search for that on Ebay!

-mwb, your gonna make me look that up, aren't you?... 

A- they are dead, they were dead...and if they weren't before...

B- it was for seating..no experimentation needed...slit and sit! -that probably didn't coming out right, did it?

-Pensy dave, that will be the holloween car someday...open baggage doors too!

  ...some of mine do too...while the cars are apart I might as well reset of them. That gorilla glue holds pretty well but not that permanently.

-tackindy, thank you!

Man its amazing what a passenger has to go through to ride on your train!

I tell you I've got half a mind to .......well, never mind.....

Rod

Obviously, only a fraction of the time...

Rusty

At least you were not re-assembling them and attempting reanimation,

Give new meaning to being a HALF ***. 

I use the Lionel Track Stretch goop on my people and make them longer. Works great

Hmm. Sadly, I don't think that I meet the criteria. I'm a scale 1 ½" tall and about ⅜" wide at the bum. 

I heard it works for shrinking too, but I used all mine to lengthen my....track.

Well, "that" would've worked, but you rprobably couldn't anyway because my railroad doesn't allow anyone under 21 to ride without a parent.......

Ok, the cars are done, and since one is like the other in most aspects, I'll just post pics of one. I turned out very well...hope yours do too if you try this. All thee bodies are at a 1/2" high from top to bottom so they line up well in the windows...the baggage door guys are 1 1/4" high from the frame.

Very nice result.  This is a case where the end justified the means.  Therfore no moral dilema.  Pat B.
