1:32 Passengers for passenger cars
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, December 29, 2005 5:26 PM
Perhaps I'm being a bit too anal, but I'm looking for a good source for passengers to put inside my passenger cars. To my knowledge, MTH doesn't make any, and Preiser has only c1900 in unpainted version. I've thought about aristocraft, but thought I'd ask the experts. Has anyone used anything else? Thanks for your help.

so your looking for 1:32 scale ,,,anal people????
I'd go look at Christmas decorations type dime stores, they work in my passenger cars.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

USA Trains makes a pack of 7 sitting figures which should meet your 1/32 requirements. They ar emuch smaller than the LGB figures and smaller than the Aristo figures.
Price is good as the 7 pack is under $10.00

All,
Thank you very much for the response. I will look into all these options and probably do some mix of each suggestion.
Thanks again,
Jim

Jim,
I was running through the mall earlier today. All those little Christmas people are drastically reduced now. Some stores had them up to 70% off! Now that is a deal even if they need a bit of repainting. My kind of price! Later eh...Brian.
