Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a supply of cheap 'N' gauge people? Not specific, but background people, sitting, standing, for populating carriages, buildings, shops, bars etc..

Preferably painted, or any kind of alternative solution.

:thankyousign:

I can explain it to you...

This sort of thing of eBay are ideal for filling up carriages etc. The painting is so - so, but fine once inside a vehicle and they're cheap as chips. They also provide a handy base for further painting by hand. Search "1/150 figures" and there's loads of results, mostly from China.

I still found that you need to cut the legs off though. I have a couple of small pots full of Chinese legs  :goggleeyes: This may only be for Farish mk3 coaches though, I haven't started on my Dapol coaches yet and am not looking forward to populating 90 of those  :goggleeyes:

Make sure they are all socially distanced and wearing masks when installed, and of course vaccinated :D
