Victorian/Edwardian Passengers for TS2017

[sem34090]

Hello!

As some of you may know, I am planning to model the Guildford to Horsham Branchline at each stage of its existance from 1865 - 1965. I would like my stations to feature passengers at each of these stages, but at present I am lost as to where to find passengers for earlier periods as the dress was very different to that from about 1925 (or so!) onwards. I can probably (Just!) get away with 1950's passengers from the 1930's, but anything earlier and I have problems, even though I have yet to learn how to lay platforms or add passengers!

Anyway, if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated

All the best,

Hi,
The only place I think you might get Victorian figures is the recently released DTG American Route,set in the 1800's otherwise I think you will be stuck for Victorian\Edwardian era figures.

Thanks Michael!

You wouldn't know what the US route is called... I just hope it's cheap beacause I'm not especially keen on US routes.

All the best,

Hi Sem
I'm hoping that by posting here it means that you'll see this... you've sent me a message but you've disabled PM's so I can't reply back to you!

Did you have any luck with this? I'm still SLOWLY chipping away at my isle of man route... I'm trying to get the 1880s/1890s feel so will have the same problem!

Hi Alastair,

No, not yet! I still need to buy the American route, but I can't really justify it as I would only use it for the passengers.

I notice Digital Traction's Lyme Regis branch is intended to be set in the 1920's/early 1930's, so some figures from that might be useful, especially workmen and the like as their dress seemed to change little up until the introduction of High-Vis clothing. I think for Edwardian and earlier figures we're stuffed, which is a shame really. The Isle of Man in that period would be lovely. Thanks for commenting, as I had not realised someone was doing it until now! Are you doing those lovely Beyer Peacock (?) 2-4-0T's too? They're just beautiful little locos.

All the best, and best of luck!
