I have reached several mile stones with my Blog and
have reached another rather important one with this post. This is the 500th
post to this blog. Now on to my 1000th…
Suppliers of HO Gauge White Metal (Pewter) Animal Figures
It is that time again, when I start thinking about working
on scenes for my model train layout. Although animals often go unnoticed they
are all around us. Adding animal figures to our model train layouts will add realism
to your scenes and the layout, overall. There are
literally hundreds of animal figures to choose from in HO scale, I only listed
those that are cast in metal.
I haven’t ordered any of Selley Finishing Touches figures as
of yet, except maybe their #163 (6 horses). I am unsure where the five horse
castings came from of those that recently completed painting (see post for
details). From list, Selley does offer a nice collection of animal figure
castings with a few unique pieces.

Musket Miniatures offers an extensive list of animal figures
with quite a few unique pieces. I haven’t ordered any of Musket Miniatures
animal figures as per say, but have ordered a couple of their horse drawn
wagons that come with a horse or two and I must say, as with their other
casting,s they are clean and crisp in their detail.

Woodland Scenic’s offers many animal castings. Most seem to
be casted in plastic and these are the only two castings that I found were
casted in metal. I was quite surprised in that Woodland Scenic’s does produce a
large number of metal products. I added the chicken coop to this list, because
even though it is considered a structure, it does contain quite a few chickens.
I have a copy of both of these kits, and I must say that the castings are
finely cast with crisp details and with very little flash.

B.T.S. offers a small collection of animal figures, but also
produces many other metal detail parts and cast metal figures. They do offer, as from the list, a few unique
pieces: Rats, Skunk, and Pigeon.

20651 Dog (2)
20682 Skunk (2)
20736 Small Bird (4)
20750 Pigeon (6)

Neal's N-Gauging Trains features mostly painted figures, but
does offer a couple castings that are unpainted. Judging from the list here I
do notice a few unique pieces here.
NEA224R Red Squirrels (5)
NEA219 Wild Birds - Heron, Owl, Woodpecker & More (5)
NEA221 Seagulls 6)

Although I do not own any of Scale Figure’s animal figures I
do process quite a few of other figures and I must say that they are pretty
nice castings.
