Woodland (Scenics) Folks....Go 'Figure'?

And I was thinking they offered "O" scale figures...

They are soon to be at the top of my layout-must-have list.

The best O Scale figures are from Artista. Google them, and order direct, as Scenic Express no longer handles them, to my knowledge.

Thank very much. Love this forum.

Good question that I've had as well. There were a lot of releases for a few years and then...nothing. Anyone know if they're planning on more O scale releases at any point? 

I've been disappointed that Woodland Scenics hasn't continued to add town buildings to their line of O scale structures.  I have no interest in their line of house trailers.   I'd like to see a brick fire house and mid sized church.

Good afternoon, if you look at some of the vehicles they offer in HO these would be great in O.

Old log trucks and heavy equipment that they offer in other scales would look great on my layout.

Ed, I agree the house trailers don't do anything for me either.

Maybe someday !!!!!

I personally love the trailers. I have a little trailer park on my layout. Loops great, IMHO.

Scenic Express had to stop carrying Arttista figures years ago because SE is "mass market", and Arttista is a "family" venture turning out a hand finished product. In short, Arttista could not keep up with SE orders, and SE did not want to p.o. their customers with "out of stock" messages.

Woodland Scenics, on the other hand, makes some wonderful figures. I have many, plus Arttista figures, on my layouts. I'd be happy to see a larger WS choice. They have wonderful paint detailing. Another plus is that they come in "groups", like 4 men playing checkers (with a sleeping dog included), or 3 Scouts, complete with tent and campfire. Overall, WS are my favorite, but Arttista has a much larger selection. 

What I have been almost begging for is some mid to late 19th century seated passengers for the Overton and Woodside passenger cars. MTH seems to sell a bunch of the cars but people to put in them are not to be found. There is a limited variety of standing people but pretty much that's about all. 

P.S._ I could turn them into excursion trains with modern style people but I much prefer to keep them period appropriate.

This question has come up before. All that came out of it was that Prieser had made a few figures, but that was about it. You could always make it into a "tourist" RR, like the 1860s "Steam Into History" near York, PA.
