Can you get figures for pre-grouping era 2 (1875-1922) layouts?

There are lots of figures available concentrating on the 'Big Four' and early 'British Railways' eras, this often leaves figures specifically catering for earlier periods such as 'pre-grouping' left buried and undiscovered, however, with a little searching, figures depicting the early 1900s are out there and once discovered, is worth the work.

Preiser is a good place to start when searching for Victorian or early 20th century figures. They produce a range of plastic hand-painted 00 gauge figures dressed in Victorian attire including examples for use in railway scenarios as well as street scenes. Alternatively, Langley produce a selection of Edwardian and Victorian figures in white metal which come unpainted allowing modellers to finish their models to represent a particular style or era.

The range of figures available for dressing a layout is nothing short of immense and spread across many manufacturers, but, with a little bit of patience and searching, the perfect figures for your layout
could be just around the corner.
