Hi
I have just bought a couple of the 'Just Plain Folks' Hobo set #2, which came from 'OnlyTrains'; they are not available in England at the moment so they had to come by post from the USA. They were well packed, and come in blister packs, and the figures are painted.
Total cost to me was $36.00 for 4 figures: the one with the high hat equates to 90mm high if measured with a, piece of wire to give a total height; that works out (in 1/20th ) as 6 ft, the actual height is 45mm (+ hat)as he is sitting down. I think they are good value; one set will be re-painted, and the other will have some different colors added and the eyes will be toned down, they are a bit bright, especially the figure with a cap.
So here are some photos
First ; then the pair sitting in open boxcar doors.
The next two are closer shots of them figures in boxcar doors, the one in the head-end car (DSP #1185) will no doubt swiftly ejected when the conductor finds him! He is the figure that looks like he needs a (?)liqor or ‘hooch’(?) bottle in one of his hands - either would take it.
Finally some real close ups of them sat of an old spice bottle.
Have a look at 'Only trains' website , I am very pleased with them, and elivery was quick, it will be even quicker in the USA!
