Elastolin Eisenbahn Figuren 🚃🛤🚂

Elastolin produced a line of more than 30 civilian figures for use with toy trains (Eisenbahn Figuren). This line included DRB (Deutsche Reichsbahn) workers, station workers, Schupo policemen (Schutzpolizei) and passengers. These figures were produced primarily in 7-cm (Normalgroße) although some were also available in 5-cm (6-cm) and 3-cm sizes. I have some 6 cm Elastolin railway figures.
