Broithe Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) I'm not a great lover of the 'frozen in time' walking poses in layout figures, much preferring the seated or standing types, but one of the layouts at the Haywood Permanent Way exhibition yesterday had several of these https://viessmann-modell.com/en/product-range/gauge-h0/emotion-animated-world/?p=5 They're not cheap, by any means, but they did 'liven up' the scene. There were chaps wielding chainsaws, scythes and even having a punch-up. Blacksmiths, welders and a bloke with a pick-axe - and even one shovelling sand into a mixer. The flock of chickens rooting around was very realistic. An example - It should be noted that, being a bit 'continental', not all of the available animated figures may be fully suitable for a family orientated layout...

I have one of the 'coupling couples' for the back seat of a DART! though the mecha is large and have not worked out how to get it in yet. Eoin 3 Quote

PorkyP Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Probably better just going straight for the ..." you want loveplay.?".. It's a mathematical certainty that you'll get a yes eventually... 2 Quote
Broithe Posted October 27, 2019 Author Posted October 27, 2019 I'm currently formulating a scenario for a railway-themed dating show. I'm confident it would be a winner. Something like Bind Date meets the Great Model Railway Challenge. 1 Quote
murrayec Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 @Broithe can we make suggestions?...... Choose your date by their track laying skills, choose your date for their ability to render and install a realistic back-scene, or their calm control of the knobs in a rear shunting situation!..... What do you think, what do you think? can I have a job|? Eoin 1 Quote
Broithe Posted October 27, 2019 Author Posted October 27, 2019 Possibly. It might be necessary to pay special attention to coupling arrangements. 2 Quote
