So, yesterday I went to a little shop in Manhattan that caters to model airplane and model railroad enthusiasts. I was looking for white enamel and a fine brush to touch up chips on my kitchen sink, but I'm a sucker for miniatures of all kinds. So I was looking at a rack of tiny plastic figures for use in the smallest HO gauge railroad scenes: minute birds, animals, children at play, and a variety of people doing activities.

The selection was ample: "Couples in Coats," "Ice Skaters," for a northern scene, "Bee Keepers." Farmer's Market" for a rural scene, etc. And of course figures suitable to railroad dioramas--workers laying ties and so forth.( Of course it's all about racism )
