Somehow I find it absolutely impossible to squeeze 2 passengers on a bench, even in true to scale coaches. Also from the outside, the train looks a bit overfilled and the passengers too bulky. Anyone tried N scale passengers or would that look like a school excursion? Best regards, Gregor

Seats and floors are molded too high to accommodate coupler mechanisms and car weights Seats don't give, they are hard combined with model butts that don't give either! Mini people seem to be more exuberant but you can't squeeze their arms an legs together without surgery. Mini peoples clothes don't give either. Roger

Hello Dereck, I notice Preiser only make one bunch (six people) of Sitzende Personen in 1: 100. Where do you get your stunted Preiserlings from? Regards, Philip Hello PJMärklin or (PJPreiser shortly?), for your rainy days at Winter time. The Preisser catalogue 2020 https://www.preiserfigur...iten_2020&SiteID=139 and the Merten catalogue 2020 https://www.preiserfigur...ramm_2020&SiteID=138 When you scroll down the pages a little bit, you see buttons with the pdf sign. You may download their catalouge and price list. In these PDF Files Preiser offers an English translation too, which I could not foound for the website. For English speaker the PDF files may be more helpful. Under the menu point "Katalogdownload" all available catalogues in all various gauges are listed as PDF files. Needs a few rainy days for them all. Regards TEEWolf

Not really good quality, but fitted into carriages, who would know. 50 Painted Model Train Seated People Passengers Figures 1_87 HO Scale _ eBay $4.00- $10.00 nz Dereck Preiserlings are really good quality, but cost a lot lot more. The seated "Chinalings" are ok in carriages but I would not think they were good enough to be stand alone. The painting isn't that great on the "Chinalings", but you get what you pay for. I don't have time to paint figures like these, and I would rather spend my money on other things. I have a 37580 in which I have placed 50 of these 1;100 figures. Looks good.
