FAQs
What scale are these figures?
These figures are designed to fit standard model railway scales common in the Bachmann hobby line.
Do I need to paint these figures?
No, the figures come hand-painted and ready to be placed directly onto your diorama.
Are the figures poseable?
No, these are fixed-pose figures, meaning their limbs and stances cannot be adjusted.
How many figures are included?
The set contains six individual figures.
Can I use these outdoors?
While durable, these are intended for indoor model railway environments; extended outdoor exposure may cause fading or material degradation.
What historical period do they represent?
They are modeled after the aesthetic and attire of coal miners from the 1960s and 1970s.
Troubleshooting
Figure will not stand upright on uneven track terrain
Use a small amount of hobby putty or thick adhesive to level the base of the figure against the uneven surface.
Dust accumulation in crevices
Use a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust from the figure without scratching the paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these figures, ensure you have a clean, flat surface on your layout base. A tiny dab of non-permanent hobby glue or specialized diorama adhesive is recommended to secure them in place during operation. For maintenance, keep the figures away from direct, high-intensity sunlight for extended periods to prevent paint fading. If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, dry brush to gently remove dust, avoiding liquid cleaners which could damage the paintwork.
