Although not ready for too many of them yet, When the scenes start coming together I will need a lot of folks. But the time to get them is before I am ready for them. Although pre-painted figures are a easy way to go they really add up in costs. So I have been collecting unpainted figures as much as possible and will be setting up a painting assembly line soon. So during ball games this summer I will be painting some of them. Another reason to paint your own is to make each one individualized. When they all look a like it is just not real. To make things and people move it just makes the scene become alive. So glue your little folks to the eraisers of your old pencils and line them up and take in a ball game on TV.

The platform is best hidden behind the carriages and kept to size where you don’t see the platform above the height of the train I usually have something else happening to take the viewers eye momentarily off the stationary train.
