HO Scale Model Train Figures

Just as the details of train locomotives and cars tell stories about other times and places, so do the figures you add to your layout. Create your own stories about where the trains are going with family, animal and other figures. These can be as simple as spectators on the siding or as complex as a series of towns, villages, and farms, complete with welcoming lighted windows.

Model manufacturers stock architectural and story figures for all train scales - and for nearly every period of train history that comes to mind. Start with the history of your favorite engines and build the atmosphere they originally ran in. Celebrate Christmas or other holidays with a church on the hill and snow-trimmed village stores. Add a skating pond or a sledding hill with children. Trains tell stories, and you can fill the ones you treasure with figures that make them come alive.
