I was caught by surprise by a totally unexpected esthetic emotion, reading, on a miniature train accessories company website (woodlandscenics.com), the descriptive of some new figure sets they proposed for sale (for reasonable prices).


Full Figured Folks
A1845 (HO Scale)

A man and a woman sit on a park bench. The woman holds her popcorn, while the man is totally unaware that a pudgy pug dog is trying to steal his hot dog. A man clutches his bottle to his belly. Another man observes, with his hands on his suspenders and a woman holds her hat and purse.


Checker Players
A1848 (HO Scale)

Two men sit at an old whiskey barrel with a checkerboard. One scratches his head, trying to decide on his next move, while the other waits. A man smokes a pipe and another observes the game, with his hands in his pockets. An old hound dog flops down to rest, his tongue hanging out.


Maybe I should write something in this genre.

Perhaps my favorite was:

Assorted Junk
A1852 (HO Scale)

Old trash cans, spent motors, ancient furnaces and other junk piles are scattered around. There are old tires, wheels, pumps, rusted mufflers and other throwaways. Most of the trashcans are full of garbage.
