A Few Figures

My layout is industrial Britain 1950's ish. I have been looking at old photos for figure inspiration and I have come to the conclusion, that era was very dull (colour wise). Industrial areas were male dominated and clothing was like a uniform very much the same in style and all drab colours, plus flat cap. Also working men were all of the same stature. This is probably because of the food shortages due to the war and before fast food establishments!! So all my figures, locos,…

I think you are right although the photo is probably from the Edwardian era to judge from the number of moustaches. I think by 50s younger men might have been bare-headed while labouring as well. A lot of them would have been wearing bits of uniform battledress and berets having served in the forces in WW2. Older blokes would have dressed much like the figures in your picture. Don't forget the gaffer in a trilby.

Incidentally what is the source of your figures?

That picture was just to show what was around. I don't base any of my stuff on prototypes, just inspired, that way I can quote Rule 1.

I make all my own figures, come to think of it I make all my stuff that is on my layout.
