      Worth having a good look through here Dave…..gives the height of the figures as well. You’ll be after 23-24mm I should think….

        May be worth looking through the pulp ranges…
        A range of figures designed to be used in the era of the Pulp adventure and early 20th Century horror.

        Cant seem to find much else. The Dapol hard plastic figures are reviewed on the Plastic soldier review site, so see what you think….

          I’ve used them happily with 1/72 dioramas before. In fact, some Preiser figures are 1/72.
          In this diorama there is only one 1/72 figure, the others are Noch and Matchbox. In my experience, with careful selections and placing the difference is barely noticeable.

            The description is correct, but it’s OO bodies running on TT track……not N gauge track (which is 9mm gauge).

            The little n just stands for “narrow”, a descriptor used for any track gauge less than 4 foot 8 and a half inches….if you’ve been to mid Wales you’ll know what I mean…..

            I‘m stopping now….my head hurts
            My head hurt at the start of all this Tim !

              Having tried your suggestions guys - thanks for the info - while I have found some suitable sets, methinks I'm going to have to live with different scales. I think I should be able to get away with creating barriers between the different areas of my building which should hide any discrepancies unless you look REALLY close!

              All I gotta do now is buy my house so I can set up a second mortgage to pay for them! I guess they're so expensive as they all come ready painted. No doubt that's 'cos the railway modellers don't have the time to paint their own figures - on account of them being too busy faffing around sorting all the different scales! :smiling:
