The smallest ever ????

These old Reisler figueres were on a local auktion. They are so tiny,made for model railways, but true copies of the "real" ones.
Just look at the two sizes roosters
Westie is a GIANT in this compagny

A mere snack for the Westie.
How small must the paint brush have been !

Yes and a terribly steady hand !

Let`s hope Westie doesn`t get hungry while the lil`ones are around

They are gorgeous!

They are so cute - HO scale are they? Really tiny, love the cockerels

Thanks Mihnea and Harriet

Yes, Harriet, they are HO-scale. What does HO actually stand for, do you know ??? Hard to Observe ?

Eh! Westie is growing a lot! What is he eating, Susanne???

Siamese, Robert? They desapeared from Susanne's avatar!!!

No wonder she changed it

Nono no, they are still here

But I am sure Westie eats my chocolate, there is never any left when I want some

Yeah, riiight. Blame it on the poor animal, he can't speak for himself

They are great, Susanne! I don't think I've ever seen roosters so tiny!

If chocolate makes grow you should have more than 3 metters, Susanne!

3 meters, that's a mild statement...

I copied this from wikipedia
The name H0 is derived from the fact that its 1:87 scale is approximately half that of 0 scale which was the smallest of the series of older and larger 0, 1, 2, and 3 scales introduced by Märklin around 1900. In English H0 is pronounced "aitch-oh" (letters H O) but in German "hah-null" (letter H numeral 0).

Rogbert and Robger, - there you see ! Westie eats all my chocolate, I am only 1,80

Harriet : Thanks, that is really interesting. So Märklin set the standard for size of figueres.
And these are half the size of the smallest, - they ARE tiny

Railroad models are fantastic. I think if I did not collect animal figueres, and if I had more room, I would build model railroads

I like the name Robger, now we have a croc called Rogbert and a dog called Robger!
So I could ask you Suger??? It remembers me sugar or sukker!
You are very tall for Portuguese standards, now I feel like a dwarf crocodile!

You don`t eat enough chocolate in Portugal, I think

Ladies in Portugal eat a lot of chocolate but they grow horizontally! ... but I'm not a chubby dwarf crocodile! :)

I've actually repainted a few HOs - even some foals, no bigger than my fingernail. In fact I bought a box of HO Preiser cattle just a few weeks ago... they're so tiny and beautifully detailed I couldn't resist.

Ohhh, no, not Sukker (do you speak Danish ) or Sugar. Then I won`t dare to go out to the horses

I am so happy you are not a giant-crocbert

This giant croc looks like it had a tomatoes overdose!
Is it the Bullyland tomatosuchus?
