Little People

Great pix Mark and Pat. Keep 'em coming.

Arnold- it's a little bit spooky how our little people seem to move around the place....

That's because they take long distance, high speed train rides.

A whopper:

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away:

Arnold- I like how you incorporated the waste pipe into the scene.

That pipe is actually in connection with the fuel oil tank in my basement. My trains run by the oil tank underneath the dock:

In the last picture on the left is the gauge for my oil tank. Looks like the oil tank is a little more than half full. 

We can pretend that the oil tank gauge is a gasoline pump.

Moonson, could you tell me where you found these wagon and carriage models.  I've been looking for some time but never found a source.

Sure, Petra. They are from: Baker's Railroad Shop, Roy Baker (1-845-887-0079). He imports them and hand-paints them. They are metal, every part of them.

Roy crafts a variety of carts/wagons, several of which are featured in these vignettes....

Arnold,

     The Great thing is I have more of them to paint thanks to Doc (Thom), who seems to be able to find them in bulk from time to time.  Got to find time to due some more painting of the little people!

Thanks for the nice comments

I felt like adding an Image to this, you could take it one of two ways.

One, the people are in watching the movie.

Two, the Movie Theater(Theatre) is starting to not be as popular due to other forms of entertainment available. 

TCOCHRAN, In either scenario, it seems like there might still be one or two people milling around , perhaps, over on the left of picture #1, or passing by, in picture #2. Overall, it's kind of bright and clean to be a place totally neglected.

Here are some little folks from Patsburg.  Apology for any repeats.

Li'l folks doing more stuff...

Arnold,

Rozy 205,

   A lot of this stuff comes in from Great Brit, others came from sand castings we did as young boys in the late 40's thru the 60's.  Man I wish I still had all those cool Army and Navy lead figures I made and painted up as a boy.  Unfortunately mom gave them away when I was drafted, along with some other pretty cool train accessories.

Relaxed moments after church....
