Practical Uses

Historic station: Station master, conductor, porter and travellers can be combined into a complete platform scene around a station building or historic train.

Waiting room and platform bench: The two seated figures fit on existing benches or seat edges. The standing waiting passengers complement the scene in front of ticket counters, baggage check-in or platform access.

Arrival and departure: The porter with luggage trolley and the travellers with suitcases are suitable for scenes at the train, in front of the station or at a historic stop.

Historic city or transport diorama: Combined with correctly scaled vehicles and buildings, they create a street scene from the late 1920s or early 1930s with a station setting.
