Fun. In HO and N.

Those look nice, but the "drop down" for the Edge Series 1-9 only shows HO.

Looks like the bundle is only available in HO. Several of the individual figures are available in N.

Just need to get a @Ed Kapuscinski mini and put him next to the edge

hahaha, awesome!

I would add more figures.

Like someone falling backwards and another grabbing for him/her.

How about someone fishing.

There needs to be a guy with a parachute.

My first impression is, "Very funny!" My second impression is, "This joke would get sort of old for the layout owner or frequent operators." My third impression would be, "These would get bumped into and/or broken off by guests in a heartbeat, especially in N scale."

YMMV. I like them a lot and certainly enjoy the self-deprecating humor, but the practical side... well... eh.

That's what I thought too but they could go on the edge of a building or something further inside the layout.

I liked the stuff they did that involves the layout fascia..

Only critique I have there is the dog needs to be a collie.

(These are all hilarious!)

or Bungee jumping.  He could be below the level of the layout.

I hope that @x600 has a picture, because I dont. but one of his oNe trak modules has a gravel pit scene with a hole at the bottom of the pit that goes all the way through the module, then a small patch of gravel with a broken front end loader on it that goes on the floor directly underneath the hole. Not exactly the same idea as what we're discussing here but still fun nonetheless.

A lot of these could also be used on the layout, in everyday situations.

or Bungee jumping.  He could be below the level of the layout.

That's been done off of Kato bridge, quite few years ago on my friend Ernie's  layout.

There is a funny story behind this. The layout was built on Thursday evening with help of Ernie's friends.  One Thursday evening there was some giggling going on at that area of the layout. When Ernie came over to see what's going on, this is what he saw the crew just created.



Yes, the way the bungee is shaped is not prototypical, but it creates a feeling of motion much better than what it would correctly look like.  The bungee is just a thin brass rod painted orange and figures are stock N scale figures (probably Preiser).

We still enjoy the reactions from visitors who spot that scent during open houses.


As for those H0 figures, they are excellent, but I'm also curious if they are 3D printed but hand-painted because the examples of 3D color-printed figures I've dealt with aren't anywhere as well decorated.
