On this episode I talk about N gauge figures and where to find them. Of course these manufactures also cater for other scales too. One of the best N Gauge layouts that show the use of figures is Piddle in the marsh by Mark Ireland and his second channel "The innocent tales of Piddle Folk" is based about the tales of his layout and really highlights the use of figures and shows the dioramas he has created. I hope you find this video useful, all the best Tony.

Figures do add so much Tony as you say. This is a very useful resource for people who may not have yet realised there is more than Graham Farish figures. Stephen

Hi Stephen, You are right I have so many comments from viewers who didn't know what else was out there. Not sure if I dare doing a painting video like yours LOL! All the best Tony.

Hi Tony, it’s great watching this and seeing the amount of figures available in N scale. You are absolutely correct about the way they bring everything to life. Invaluable watch for anyone wanting to get into buying a few..Cheers, Chris

Hi Chris, This video is more aimed at the newcomers to the hobby, but as you know we are more limited in N gauge for figures. I'm sure more seasoned modellers may find it useful too. Thanks for watching. All the best Tony.

Hi Tony - really useful video - I'll be looking for some new figures for my platforms. Cheers Euan

Hi Euan, glad you found this video useful, I only really covered The figures we can reasonably get hold of, their are some great 3d printed figures made in the US but the postage kills it being viable. All the best Tony.

Hi Tony, lol! Yes there will be a golf hole on Exehaven , thanks for the mention. Good information Tony, I’m going to need thousands of figures at Exehaven, I like the look of the packs of unpainted figures, I have some from Peco but there are only about 10 in a pack, 72 is much better. Probably will use some of the Chinese unpainted figures to for the crowd scenes at the harbour. Cheers for now mate, John

Hi John, I had a feeling you may end up with a golf scene so had to share some golfers 😁 I didn't mention the Peco figures as I wasn't too keen on them when I took a look at them, but certainly good to practice your painting skills 😂 Yes you will need a lot when the time comes. Like I said quality figures to make a nice scene and cheaper figures when you need a crowd! the Preiser figures and Noch figures are certainly quality figures, as they have lots of detail even when unpainted. All the best Tony

Lovely video Tony👍, i haven't come across Prieser before and those unpainted figures from them you were talking about definitely caught my eye, Hope your well, take care Rich

@TheHeritageLine Жыл бұрын

Hi Rich, glad you found the video useful, Prieser certainly have a good range of unpainted figures. All the best Tony

You're spot on ... figures make layouts realistic & interesting! I use cheap Chinese figures inside passenger cars ... don't need to see much detail. Miniprints in Canada has lots of 3D-printed details. All the best ... Cheers!!

Miniprints sound interesting I will certainly check them out. thanks for the info. All the best Tony.

Hi Tony, what a nice video explaining all the advantages and disadvantages of model people for our N gauge layouts. I generally go with the Farish Scenecraft ones as they have such a great range and are well painted! However they are expensive especially when you start wanting a few like on station platforms! Some good options given I will check out a few if those I had not previously considered or heard of. Cheers Gary

Greetings Scarborough Fair and hello Tony 👋 Fantastic look a figures 💃 and where to pick them up 😳 Talking of hero figures and Mr Watson 😇 I wonder if MODELU3D would release a Mark Ireland figure 😇 or even Seymour Asscrack 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Delighted to see you have the Advent Callander ready 😍 well it wouldn't be Xmas🎅 without it 😪 Merry Poppins and best wishes from Wickford ☘️

Hi Paul, a Mark Ireland figure would be awesome, imagine what he could get up to with the Piddlefolk 🤣🤣🤣. I knew you'd spot the calendar, which is why I left it on show 😁 just don't want anymore 🐴🐴🐴 they don't sit in the coaches very well. All the best Tony.
