Hi ALL!

I just found this collection of HO scale cows, pigs , people, scooter etc. I was wondering who made them. Doesn’t look like the typical Palsicville stuff. Any guesses ?

Many thanks, Ted

Well, the people (and scooter) as LifeLike SceneMaster city people

SceneMaster™ Figures – City People

I have that set, must be 2 decades now - stripped and repainted them, and carved away the funky rectangular bases. The scooter will be now relegated to an “antiques” shop I am going to construct (and furnish w/ all those old-time bit and detail parts that used to come with IHC, Life-Like, Atlas etc building kits), and I think the rider was assigned to driving forklifts.

ETA: I think 2 of the people figures, the ones with round bases, are indeed Bachmann (‘Plasticville’) figures - I’m pretty sure about the woman in the red skirt and tan jacket that looks like shes pointing at the ground, the other one the image is not clear enough (too shadow) for me to be sure.

Maybe it’s just me, the shady pic, or whatever, but in the first pic it looks like there’s a bison – that’s painted as a cow?!?

The one next to the bench ?

Nope, it’s the one that’s just above the hog in the left hand column, first pic.

I’m guessing it’s meant to be the bull and the rest are cows, but it sure looks like a buffalo. Maybe it’s one of those hybrid “beefaloes” they did a couple decades back??

Stix,

I think that’s it! Beefalo.

A cross-dressing bison? Well I guess they don’t call it Life Like for nothing …
