FAQs

How many figures are included in the set?

Are the figures poseable?
No, the figures are molded in static poses and are not poseable.
Can these figures be painted by the user?
While the figures are already hand-painted, they can be repainted or enhanced using appropriate model paints if desired.
What type of material are the figures made from?
The figures are typically made from high-quality plastic, common for model figures.
Are these figures suitable for children?
These figures are designed for adult modelers and collectors due to their small size and delicate details. They are not intended as toys.
Where can I use these figures on my model railway?
They are ideal for station platforms, train interiors, ticket halls, street scenes, bus stops, or any area where passengers or commuters would be found.
Troubleshooting
Figure is unstable or falls over
Use a small dab of model adhesive (e.g., PVA glue or specialized plastic cement) to secure the figure's base to the desired surface.
Paint appears to be chipping
Handle figures carefully by their bases or sturdier parts. If minor chipping occurs, it can sometimes be touched up with model paints in matching colors.
Figure does not fit the intended scene's scale
Confirm that the layout or diorama is indeed OO scale (1:76). If the scale is correct, consider if the figure's pose or placement can be adjusted to better suit the scene.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These figures are ready to be placed directly onto your model layout. For permanent placement, a small amount of model adhesive can be used to secure them to surfaces like platforms, benches, or ground cover.
Compatibility: The figures are designed for OO scale (1:76 scale), making them compatible with most OO gauge model railways and accessories. They are also suitable for other 1:76 scale dioramas.
Care: To maintain their appearance, dust figures gently with a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air held at a distance. Avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the paintwork. Store them in their original packaging or a suitable small container to prevent damage from dust or impact.
