Bosco figures

Karl Woodcock
Guys, Thanks very much for all the responses. I had Keith’s old email address from many years ago when I bought some of the first figures he made. Unfortunately I had to take a break from Model Railroading but I’m back now and really enjoying it, even if progress is painfully slow.
Tom thanks for the reminder of Keith’s full name and email, Charles for suggestions on modelling my own characters (I just need to get copies of the magazines! Not to easy over here in the UK), Larry for information on his move, Randy, Rick, Bob and Russell for the alternative suggestions and Tom for reminding me I need to find the vultures. I definitely have some. Now where the heck are they?
Thanks & regards,
Woody Owner, Director and GDB for the M. T. & L. D. (S&N) Railroad “The Good Old Light & Heavy” Royal Sutton Coldfield, England, Great Britain.

Hey woody For critters and vultures, try miniprints out of Canada. I have lots of them and will get some more, especially turkey vultures. He also has skulls as well. Larry

Those figures from miniprints.ca look very nice.
Has anyone suggested to him doing a John Allen set with Vanderlip, Vestibule, Archbar-Pete, Sorofetz brothers and Emma? Maybe if several of us would make such a suggestion it could happen? /anders

That's a great idea! I've ordered a couple of figures from him, so I'm waiting to see what they look like. (I usually lurk here) JIm Little, MMR

OK guys I emailed miniprints and here's what he has told me; "Funny you should mention that because I am planning to do an HO Scale Emma. I created this one out of a toy for my layout but the 3D printed version is going to be much better! Please do send along any photos you have, as well as which models you think will be the most popular." If you send me good photos of the figures, I'll forward them to the company. Also give me an idea of what scales people are interested in. Jim Little, MMR

Here's what Miniprints said; Emma will likely be the first model. Probably coming in December. I am pretty backed up with my CustomCrews figures and will look at the other models in the new year (if possible). Jim Little, MMR

Yes welcome back Keith!
I’m sorry I dismissed you as out of business. Webpage down several years and no update on facebook for two years it’s an easy conclusion. I’m glad I was wrong and will happily send my hard earned money to Oregon instead of Canada. (but there might be some cash going to Canada also) Do you have an up to date list of your figures? The internet archive version of your site is clearly outdated and the file in this groups file section is even older. As I’m in Sweden freight will no doubt be the actual cost, no standard freight tariffs. /anders

Thanks to all those that shared information reference John Allen’s original model figures and Keith’s reproductions through Bosco figures. To add to the comments regarding 3D printing, etc, please note that Keith is very much in business. To quote:
Rumors of BOSCO FIGURES going out of business "have been greatly exaggerated" to misquote Mark Twain. Please let me know if I can provide pewter figures to you.
Straight from Keith’s Facebook page 17 hours ago.
