Little People

JerryB,

Needs a solid fence and hidden parking in the back.

Are those playground swings in front of it? Hmmm, kids playing while Dad plays too

Another crew building yet another cape cod:

...smaller little people (pun intended  crew working here, so less progress...

With road construction on the main road out of the city, two officers on detail seemed to have everything under control

Derailment approximately 5 p.m. Sunday April 5 on westbound freight 119.  Two open hoppers loaded with coal jumped the track.  No one was injured and not even one lump of coal was spilled.  Here we see crews arrive on the scene just minutes after the derailment occurred.  Heavy equipment is making it's way to the scene and should arrive in about one hour.  It's going to be a long evening! 

Ice Cream Truck and happy kids

Yes, ice cream truck and the nearby parochial school lining-up for their day to begin...

While waiting to hear back from you, I got my closer warming up in the bullpen:

If you want to add your own baseball game to your layout, two sources can be found on the internet. Scenic Express offers four sets of 1/50 scale youth ballplayers in four set of 7 or 8 players each, all prepainted.  Unfortunately, three-fourths of the figures are excited spectators and not in the game. These figures are priced at about $3 each. The second option is a set of 13 unpainted, cast-metal figures in 1/64 (S) scale for $15. This group, which could represent a youth team (middle school?) in O scale, includes one umpire, a batter, one base-runner, and 10 defensive players including pitcher and catcher. O scale figures would be appropriate for the managers and spectators.

These scenes are really great.  Very believable and realistic!  I like the guy opening the garage door and the details in the flowers and pumpkins.

Thanks for sharing!

LP for today:  

Everyone is happy today in Patsburg! 

The Rooftop 5 Plus One bluegrass band performs for a small but appreciative audience on the roof of Engine Co. 5. 

Mr. Donahue exits Don's Barber Shop reading the stock report. 

Buford Clements ,with beer in hand, thinks twice before driving his Woody.  Otis Tucker, with plenty of beer in belly and one in hand, staggers around the parking lot.  Workers stack up the beer at the Beer Depot in anticipation of the weekend rush.

That last picture must be "Beer Heaven."  LOL

A ride across the harbor.

Saving the day.

Trouble brewing in the alley.

This stream has been very impressive! My question is twofold:

1. Where do you get such unique figures?

2. What is the process for painting them?

 Thank you

Little People of Patsburg 4/15/2020    

MOW crew takes a breather at dusk. 

Laura Lou tries at her new jumprope, sister Kate cuts the lawn, Timmy in race car 7  and Steven in race car 2.  Fun times!!  

Old retired railroaders and few other folk like to congregate down at the switch tower to shoot the breeze, laugh and watch trains.  

Gordy - the Sealtest milkman makes his morning rounds as Mr. Charles steps onto his porch. 

A Corvette drives by as the children play as a B&O C-16 waits for the green signal. 

Little Sarah contemplates the swings as Mom looks on from the porch.  ( btw - that Lionel N&W covered hopper is my first add on car, received from Santa at 5 years old.  I received my first Lionel train set the year before ... 2065 steamer freight set which I still have fully intact. ) 

This is a precarious situation, where is it going to go?
