RMT Beep figures vs. Preiser figures?

Manny- the BEEP's are not to scale and are lacking is some detailing. The Preiser's are much better detailed and I think scale size.

I have both the BEEP standing and seated figures. The seated will go in passenger cars one day and are smaller than the standing figures. For the price, I think they are fine overall. I'd rather spend the train budget on trains.

For comparison, the engineer figure is from Woodland Scenics.

Checking them to scale- the WS figure is a little over 1.5" which equals about 6'2" 1:1. The standing BEEPs are slightly larger or about 7'0" 1:1.

But our tracks have a 3rd rail down the center so......

Thanks for that info Bob.

With the pack of standing BEEPS, are there a lot of duplicate figures?    Is it more of a 10 figures x 4 pack?

Thanks,

The seated ppl are 8 sets of 8, standing 2 sets of 24.

Whatever you decide, rather than glue them down permanently, buy a jar of "museum wax" and use that to hold them down so that they can be removed if you need to.

That does not apply to seated people in passenger cars where I want them not to vibrate loose and use CA glue.

Thanks Bob and Ritchie
