hi all, i am a newbie here, so first if this is in the wrong section, then i apolagise,
i have been given these small people, figures, vehicles and lots more…
the only problem i have is that no-one so far can tell me what they are,
what i can tell you is that there sems to be different gauges, they are made of lead and mostly are painted, they also have points/spikes on them maybe for mounting them, could they possibly be from trains ??
many thanks in advance.
p.s. i do not know how to make the pictures larger, sorry.
Look like details for architectural models, the buses & trucks seems to be very small scale (there are sub-N gauge 1:200, 1:500, etc - office building models can be huge, and need to be represented in small scale). I believe Plastruct, among other companies, sell such items.
Click on edit and look at your code… I just deleted the “th_” that indicates that you lnkied to a thumbnail.
Thank you very much SpaceMouse
How big are the figures? If they are HO they would be about 7/8" tall - N gauge 1/2 of that. They look to be very small - could they actually be cake decorations? That may sound silly, but I remember seeing Thomas stuff on my grandson’s b’day cake a few years ago that had those little pins to stick them in the top of the cake!
Nah, the vehicles (road & rail) are definitely architectural details - I checked on the Plastruct site, they had similar vehicles listed, with pins, in 1:100 (they were calling these HO - meh), 1:200, and 1:500. They also had the street lights you have pictures in those scale (non-working, of course).
Could not find the human figures (they only were offering shilloutes - flat 2d like human figures), so these may or may not be details.
These items may not be Plastruct, but I’m sure the vehicles & street lights at least are architectural details (the Plastruct site kind of sucks in regards to browsing through the listings - here’s The link
That loco & cars would make a pretty good ride-on live steam style train![:)]
