N scale figures - the next frontier? They're all kinda "blobby" if ya look at them. ;)

You could use Z-scale people and claim that someone was filming some kind of reality show on board the train

Been done already. It was a movie called "Under the Rainbow". A somewhat funny movie.

I can live with many 1/144th vehicles, but figures sized closer to 1/144th than to N-scale are a problem, and those get on fee-bay alot. The amazing prices on the Volmer and Presier Z-scale figures is keep my Super Cheif's dome empty. If you've tried it, you know Z-scale people "fit" the seats and look better than N-scale figures in the domes. $33 cost on 10 Z-scale "seated passengers" (price we got on the last order on them) is a little steep, especially when you have to amputate their legs! :o

Hmm... I think N scale people look better, but that's just my opinion.



They are gonna get windblown and wet in that car...
I WANNA SEE THE BOAT MOVIE!

Yes... I'm in N... Also HO and 1:1
