Hroth Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 As far as the Noch HO figures go, they're fairly broadly painted; and the actions portrayed are fairly risible. If you have to have such things, then its up to you. In N gauge, I suspect that everything is more or less in the imagination of the beholder. Are they delivered in plain brown covers? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasp Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Noch also make a couple of pink pigs “having it off” which amused me Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roythebus Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Many years ago on the MRC's original OO layout we had a pair of copulating horses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearholmer Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 How long before the layout collapsed under the equine frenzy, and, assuming that it was at Keen House, how did two nags get up those stairs? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatB Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I tend to think that the whole thing is one of those jokes that seems mildly amusing for 10 minutes or so, and then morphs into tedious for the rest of eternity. 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted September 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2020 We have had this subject on another thread before. It seems to me that if someone wants such scenes on their home layout that is a matter for them. Presumably many do or Noch would not be producing so many variations on this theme. I have rather more reservations about such scenes on a layout that is taken out to exhibitions. I would draw a distinction here between figures representing naturists and figures representing sexual acts. But what if such figures represent accurately the location being modelled? In Germany and France it is commonplace for the "red light" district to be close to the station. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted September 4, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2020 I believe much of our modelling is recreating scenes from our pasts, whether real or imagined. Perhaps for some these figures are another, similar expression.... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob D2 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Bonking 4mm figures so old school. I wrote about The “ standing naked hitler “ figure I found on eBay “ for OO models railways “, recently . That caught me out a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becareful how you exit Brussels Nord station then, main entrance is a grim dark palace of austerity even BR would be proud of. But take the other exit, and your eyes will widen and the street is distinctly fruity with a lot of “interesting” activity. Budapest Keleti, Warsaw Centralna, Frankfurt, Vienna Nord all have a presence of groupies in close proximity eager to cheer on railway enthusiasts.. who may exit the station looking for places to take pictures of arriving / departing trains and end up seeing something altogether distracting.
