Hi Gerry; Just the links on the manufactures' page are very worth pursuing. In a few minutes I noted that Aspen Model has some new S figures beyond the original train crew and cowboys that would be useful, and Raggs to Riches has some more detail parts (chairs, tables and what has to be the most detailed platform scale model I've ever seen) also in S. I'm sure going through all the links would find more I didn't know about.
The Aspen list does bring to mind, why does every S figure line include a mand reading the newspaper? I guess S scale people are more well-read that other scale's people? Pieter E.
