Live Steam Railroad People to Scale

[shlick88]

I'm building a caboose for 7 1/2 inch track, at a 1 1/2 inch scale. I'm just finishing up the detail work. I thought it would be a good idea to try and find a little conductor guy to attack to the caboose just for looks. Is there any websites that see people to this scale? Thanks!

Wouldn't it be indians (or terrorists if more modern train) that would be attacking the caboose? Usually the conductor doesn't attack his own train. ;D

Sorry, couldn't resist... I know it was just a typo.

Have a look at sites that sell R/C aircraft, they have some 1/8 size pilots:

You'll have to make or buy a conductor outfit.

Fred,
Anyone interested in 2' gauge should check www.7-8ths.info/ Rob and a lot of other folks post there including me.

It is where you will find my behind the articles stuff on the Mapleton Shay project I am working on.

My next article in "Steam in the Garden" will have the Lima prints at 3/4" scale for the Mapleton and the Dulong shop numbers 2800 and 2091. These were interesting boilers as they had copper fire boxes and BRASS tubes.

Nice site. I'm into 2" not 2 foot, but I am working on a Lister for 7 1/4" using a Howard Rotovator donor. Meanwhile, back at the thread
