The quality of these figures are average to poor. If a Preiser figure is a 10, these would be a 2 or 3. You get what you pay for. These are good for the far corner of the layout where the details will not be too visible. BTW - Thanks for your advice on installing the loksound decoder on my loco. Just completed the conversion today and works great. Very easy conversion. Only problem is the strip for the rear LEDs do not fit snugly in the new board and the rear lights don't work. May be a problem with the board. Gautham

If you have a link, that would be great. The batch I bought contains both sitting and standing figures. Mostly standing. You could try contacting everydaygoodz and ask him to ship only the sitting ones. He is very responsive.

And then one manufacturer is going to bring out 1:93.5 people just to make things more confusing.[}:)] Preiser and other manufacturers make sets of passengers that can be built into coaches. Not all shop websites list or show all available styles. Consult the catalog or the manufacturer's website for more details. Would a tall, overweight 1:100 person be the same as a normal 1:87 guy? and which one would Armando think was more realistic?[:o)] (Just kidding).

Have to use 1:100 or 1:120 . Not getting into an argument re carriage size/scale but available room between table and seat. Nev

As Maerklin is known for interiors that aren't to scale, you may have to cut off the legs of the people in order for them to fit (in a dining car, ie 4297 for example). The tables are not as high as they should be and the seats may also be out of proportion to scale. 1:100 people should solve the issue, although I am sure that some modellers would be amused to see your scale challenged people (politically correct).

If you made a HO scale coach with scale thickness plastic walls it would crumple when handled. Unfortunately, when you make the walls thicker there's less space for the interior, and the plastic used for the seats, tables, partitions etc is also thicker than scale so there's even less space available for passengers.

See: http://www.preiserfigure...php?SiteID=29&lang=1 The Faller passengers are a little bit thinner (art#: 153001) Most of the time you have to cut off their feet (if present) [}:)]

I have a half guy sitting in the Micheline cab and he's enough ... oh, I have a 1/4 guy in the cockpit of a peashooter too - that makes one 1/2, and one 1/4 person. Yep, have enough, rest will be whole! Cem.
