I learned of those over at another forum... but I's a'feared they's a bit "too" western for my 1880s Ozarks theme. Drat. Gotta' feeling modeling the Ozarks in 1880s is going to get a bit tough when the time comes for figures. Andre Modeling the Ozarks in the 1880s (because the voices in my head told me to. Those darn voices. ) Country: | Posts: 812 railman28 Fireman Posted - 06/30/2019 :  5:33:05 PM     New to me But one or two of them are a bit too Hollywood for me. It's only make-believe Country: USA | Posts: 5224 OK Hogger Crew Chief Posted - 06/30/2019 :  9:11:09 PM     Yeah... "Hollywood" sort of describes a few of them. However, one of the compelling points back when I was being seduced by 1880s Colorado was the western-type rough and tumble characters seen in the pics thereof. I also liked the idea of being able to represent some Native American's, too. (The Ute Indians in the portions of the Rockies that I was going to model.) The Osage Indians had left the Ozarks long before the Ozarks began to be lightly settled by us pale faces. Now, if I moved my theme over to the Ouachitas down around Winding Stair Mountain... then the Choctaw's would be in heavy evidence in the 1880s. For that was the heart of the Choctaw Nation (still is) when it was Indian Territory (and not Oklahoma). However, I digress. In all, I think it's a pretty cool looking figure line.

Andre YES! ME too along with the Chinese. Bob It's only make-believe Country: USA | Posts: 5224 OK Hogger Crew Chief Posted - 07/01/2019 :  1:23:16 PM     Bob: Yup, with you modeling a layout based on the west coast, the Chinese laborers would definitely be nice to represent. I remember reading my Central Pacific book "High Road To Promontory" about the Chinese and what they accomplished, and I came away from that with a totally new respect for them. Andre Country: | Posts: 812 desertdrover Engineer Posted - 07/01/2019 :  4:11:33 PM     Thank you Dave! I thought I knew all the western figure companies. Guess I missed this one. Or, they just started going from gamming figures to adding Railroad type figures. The long horns and horses look like the type from Fun & Games company. I like the way these look, and some of those western cowpokes look like what Verne Niner, Thunder Mesa, used on his layout. The prices look good also. And with them being from here in the U.S. in Normal, IL., I'll be making an order for the HO figures. Thanks again for sharing this information.

I have used them on the layout. Here is a photo. Håkan Country: Sweden | Posts: 1734 desertdrover Engineer Posted - 07/03/2019 :  5:18:25 PM     Thanks Håkan for the picture. Are their figures close to the HO scale, or more toward the 1:72 scale size??? I like the looks of some of their figures, but before I buy any, I'm just reaching out for any and all added information about them. Thanks!

Country: USA | Posts: 17291 masonamerican Fireman Posted - 07/04/2019 :  06:06:58 AM     I’ll take for comparison a photo with them together with a HO Preiser figure and a Hornby OO one.

Håkan Many thanks, I'm hoping they are closer to the Preiser figures, and not the OO scale. Looking forward to your picture example.

I've bought an N Gauge locomotive. Half the size of HO. Look...it fits in my mouth!" Country: Canada | Posts: 51 masonamerican Fireman Posted - 07/06/2019 :  6:07:35 PM     Hi Sorry for the delay. Here is the picture. The large one is a Bachmann OO figure. The one on the right is a Preiser HO. Håkan Country: Sweden | Posts: 1734 railman28 Fireman Posted - 07/06/2019 :  6:39:44 PM     So whit a little care they can all fit together. Unlike real people. It's only make-believe Country: USA | Posts: 5224 desertdrover Engineer Posted - 07/06/2019 :  7:11:48 PM     Thank you Håkan for your time and examples. From the picture, Knuckleduster figures will work for me then. Louis Pacific Northwest Logging in the East Coast Post count: 2000 posts added to below count.
