OK I have recently decided that my new extension room layout the location will be Cheyenne, WY.
Now… I will have a Cheyenne Union Station with a 4 track passenger train shed.
I would like to model the famous boot that is outside the station on the prototype.
Obviously it will have to scratch built.
How in the world can I do this? Is it going to be impossible?
Please help guys, I know somebody will come up some creative ideas.
By the way… YEEEHAWWWW… LOL
I think you can try a toy store like TOYS-R-US, and check out the Barbi,& Ken doll section, They just might have western clothing for the dolls, and you can pick up a pair boots.
Good Luck,
Sam
Wow I didn’t even think of that, great idea Sam!
A quick search for doll boots resulted in this. I would say that is perfect.
the doll boot was the first thing on my mind too.
What should the height be? It looks from the photo, that its about twice as tall as an HO scale figure?
I found another set of boot here, that is 1.8" tall.
About 1.6" +/- 0.4"
If it is 1.5 times the height of a six foot man, it is about 9 feet - call it 1.2" or so in H0 scale
If it is 2 times the height of a six foot man, it is about 12 feet - 1.6" or so in H0 scale
If it is 2.5 times the height of a six foot man, it is about 15 feet - 2" of so in in H0 scale

Thanks Stein.
Ya the barbie sized boots will be too small.
So I will get the one I found on ebay that is 1.8".
Slightly off topic. In the mail today a friend sent me a picture of a boot automobile. It is driving around the country celebrating LL Bean’s 100 anniversary. Interesting that it came the day after reading this thread last night.
Hummmmm!
Have fun,
