webbcompound Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) that is everyone wearing a trilby or a derby, preferably whilst wearing a shirt or (british) vest?

I like the "Keep Off" stencilled on the pilot beam - & the total lack of adherance to the instruction by the crew.!! But 'keep off' what, exactly? - since as far as I know, those crew men are where I would expect to see them, for that Era. Sorry, no idea re the actual Thread Question!!

mdvle Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Not an answer to the original post, but the photo is from around 1900 and the original B&W photo can be seen here - https://www.shorpy.com/node/6855 As noted the "Keep Off" is rather strange given that the footboards and related handles were intended for that purpose during the steam era. As for figures, likely to be difficult given the 30s isn't an era that is very popular. Other than the obvious (Walthers website, the websites for figure makers given Walthers may not carry the complete lines) also check places like eBay and other non-railroad modeling communities who may have a size that is close-enough to HO. And then remembered about 3D scanning, and of course Modelu. They print in HO and some of their figures may be suitable, if not for additional money you can always get yourself/others scanned (if in the UK) in exactly what you want... https://www.modelu3d.co.uk/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegheny1600 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I bought these from Shapeways; https://www.shapeways.com/product/596TDEZEY/bowler-and-top-hats-large-assortment-ho-scale-1-87 They're very nice but I haven't actually fitted any yet, sorry!

DanielB Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Might some of the ModelU figures be suitable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
