Model Town Figures

Has anyone purchased Model Town Figures - are they the right size to use with LGB layouts? I was going to buy a couple at £3 each to try, but they want a minimum order of £15! Mike Bett

Thanks for posting this question Mike. I've been looking for signs/figures for a while and didn't find any I liked.... until I looked at their site, after you reminded me of them. (The sad thing is that they are on my favourites list but I just didn't see them!  My order will be with them tomorrow. 
I was beaten by a computer at chess recently - but it was no match for me at kick-boxing.

Model Town Figures - are they the right size to use with LGB layouts?
I believe they are actually sized for 16mm ie 1:19

When I ordered from them they were happy to do an order of under £15 over the phone, but charged postage, which seems fair enough. I bought 2 painted ones and they are brilliant.

Mike I have them on my layout and they look fine with LGB stuff, they have a little character to them. They are a wee bit big as they are more for 16mm scale. Pick mine up at shows that modeltown attend. Cheaper if you paint them yourself... This lot's been outside for 3 years now

Thanks guys - will buy a couple and see how they fit in. I have two or three Bachman figures - too big I think, but the tip to put them by themselves works well.

Re the lady with the fallen knickers - these could be a hazard as she is so near the track - I think Health & Saftey should look into her knickers.
