N Scale Wait Staff

You are SO funny!

The Hobby Search site lists these sets as 1/150.  But no idea what their actual height is, or what they look like next to a Preiser figure.  While not as true as it once was, during most of the 20th Century, the average Asian was several inches shorter than the average American (which has a lot more to do with diet than where one comes from), so if they stuck strictly to scale, a 1/150 Japanese waiter might work out to approximately the same size as a 1/160 American waiter. Not sure how that works out in terms of height of a European waiter.

...but what is the airspeed of an unladen swallow?

The 24-281 through 283 Kato sets look promising, as do the 24-277 through 280 sets.  I figured some repainting would be needed so that isn't a factor.  Kato is true 1:160 on their Japanese prototype line?

Where is a link to see all the Kato figure sets?

You should be able to find them at the DKS' website. I posted the link in my earlier post.

These are the dining car staff from the Twilight Express train (Japanese text only): http://www.katomodels.com/n/doll_twailight/
These are the dining car staff and other staff/attendants from the blue trains (text in English or Japanese): http://www.katomodels.com/product/nmi/doll_bluetrain_e.shtml

These are my favorite - the lunch-box vendors from Yokokawa station. They used to sell lunches while the trains waited for the helper engines to be connected to go up Usui pass. We used to go through there on the way to go skiing: http://www.katomodels.com/product/nmi/doll_kamameshi.shtml
