Full details
This HO gauge horse figure set is designed for model railway hobbyists and diorama builders aged 14 and above, offering a cost-effective way to add realism to miniature scenes. With five detailed, pre-painted horses in various colors, it's ideal for populating farms, pastures, or villages. A potential consideration is that these are 'Hobby' figures, meaning they are easier to paint but may have less intricate detail than premium lines.
