FAQs
Are these figures pre-painted?
No, the Faller 151726 set comes as unpainted plastic figures, requiring modelers to paint them according to their layout's color scheme.
Can these be used in N scale layouts?
No, these are strictly designed for HO (1:87) scale. They will look significantly too large if placed in an N scale environment.
What kind of glue should I use for these figures?
Standard plastic model cement or a small dab of white PVA glue works best for securing them to your scenery.
Are these durable enough for children to play with?
No, this is a model accessory kit, not a toy. The pieces are fragile and contain small parts that present a choking hazard.
Do the figures come with individual stands?
The figures are designed to be placed directly onto your layout surface, allowing you to position them naturally within your scene.
Troubleshooting
Figure will not stay standing on the baseboard
Ensure the bottom of the figure's feet are sanded perfectly flat and use a tiny amount of clear-drying PVA glue or model cement.
Paint appears thick and obscures detail
Thin your acrylic paints with a small amount of water or thinning medium to ensure consistent, smooth coats that preserve molded details.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your figures, carefully remove them from the sprue using a precision hobby knife or side cutters. Sand down any residual plastic nibs to ensure a flat base before gluing. These figures are natively compatible with all HO scale (1:87) environments, including those from other major manufacturers.
To clean and maintain these figures, use a soft, dry brush to remove dust accumulation over time. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents for cleaning, as these may damage the plastic or strip the acrylic paint finish. Store the figures away from direct sunlight to prevent potential color fading or plastic brittleness.
