Railroad Figures

Prieser make a range of figures in 00 scale. That's the same as 1/76 which should work for a 72nd train.

I had a flick through and not sure if many will be suitable for the train your doing. But this set is for a steam train.

As for where to get them, no idea on your side of the pond, they are not easy to find.

Bish thanks, I'm trying to do some research and pickup a few.

JIBBER is doing the 1/35 TRUMPETER BR-86 a 2-8-2 steam locomotive, bigger version of the 1/72 he is doing  at WORLD AT WAR 1939-40 GB. 

i think CMK makes some 1/35

i use HO scale for 1/72. just tell them all the tall people were drafted.

Thats funny and thanks for the link. I planned on a set of those but I'm surprised theres no 1/72  figures with all the rail guns out there, especially the Dora.
