I currently have a lack of consistency of quality of figures on my layout, which is going to change soon, probably after I go to the Big E next Sunday, weather permitting.
Most of my figures are cheap plastic figures that were painted for fun by me and my kids 25 years ago when they were young. Although the quality is not great, we had a great time painting them, and I highly recommend this activity. What better way to get our children and grandchildren excited about our hobby.
On reflection, I might keep the inexpensive plastic figures that are fans seated in the bleachers of my ball park since I need so many of them to fill the ball park.
By far the best figures on my layout are the metal baseball figures made by Kramer (I think they are out of business) and the metal Attista figures.
Below are some of the Kramer baseball figures. I paid $150 for one team of them in a pretty box with a pretty red ribbon at the Choo Choo Barn (fantastic hobby shop in York or Strasberg, PA area) in the early to mid 1990s. How I wish I kept the box and kept the figures in pristine condition.
Does anyone know where I could get O Scale baseball figures of comparable quality to these Kramer figures? Arnold
