David, those are neat scenes of preparation for wartime.  I'm curious about where you found the figures of injured people.  Are those from a military hobby supplier?

 

John.  I bought them from my local Model Railway Store.  They are a set of WW1  Nurses and wounded soldiers  as seen  in the first picture.  I thing (if my memory is correct)  they are by Bachmann.

I haven't been to his store since this Covid started.  I must visit and find out if he is still trading now restrictions are partly lifted.

Are you after some?

David,

Those are neat looking figures.  No, I just wondered where you found something like that.  I use N scale, and while there are quite a few various figures, the well-done ones are expensive, and the cheaper ones are not good.  Of course, when they're that small, there's not much detail needed.

Chuck, you are doing a great job on working on the cars.  That is something I have not yet attempted.  You do very nice work.  I also work on N scale, but I have considered changing.  Why are you thinking of changing to HO?

John, I have long been a rubber-gauger.  I have been an N scaler longer than any other, since 1974 for the most part.  My dad was doing the HO and I was modeling in N.  I am currently working on some Sn3 stuff and am planning a small point to point layout.

As far as moving my main layout to HO, I will eventually.  I just seem to like the size for my 57 year old eyes.  Since I just retired, I will finish the N layout that I am building and play with it for a few years.  Then I will make the move to HO.  At least that is what I think I'll do!

Thanks everyone for the positive comments!
