Model Town Figures

[Mike Bett]

Has anyone purchased Model Town Figures - are they the right size to use with LGB layouts?

I was going to buy a couple at £3 each to try, but they want a minimum order of £15!

Thanks for posting this question Mike. I've been looking for signs/figures for a while and didn't find any I liked.... until I looked at their site, after you reminded me of them. (The sad thing is that they are on my favourites list but I just didn't see them! :crying:

My order will be with them tomorrow.

I believe they are actually sized for 16mm ie 1:19

When I ordered from them they were happy to do an order of under £15 over the phone, but charged postage, which seems fair enough. I bought 2 painted ones and they are brilliant.

Mike
I have them on my layout and they look fine with LGB stuff, they have a little character to them.

They are a wee bit big as they are more for 16mm scale.

Pick mine up at shows that modeltown attend. Cheaper if you paint them yourself...

This lot's been outside for 3 years now

Probably fright as the little fella sat down keeps getting eaten by 1:1 scale mice.
I have patched him up twice......!

Thanks guys - will buy a couple and see how they fit in. I have two or three Bachman figures - too big I think, but the tip to put them by themselves works well.

Come off it.
They are not THAT chunky.

Re the lady with the fallen knickers - these could be a hazard as she is so near the track - I think Health & Saftey should look into her knickers.
