I shot them twice! Again, I had up to four of most poses, with a few pairs and some threes, so the figures of two sets had been left in the tin, I think you should have two of each, but some of the sets on sale seem to have one of each, so I'm not sure, and maybe the numbers were reduced for budgetary reasons as the 1960's gave way to the 1970's?
Fuellers or firefighters?
Ground-crew and mechanics.
The people who get paid the proper money!
Stupidly, I failed to do the comparison shot with the other Marx 50mm space and the Deluxe Reading chaps, despite buying a handful of the former, in metallic blue, and one of the latter, specifically to do so! They are all in storage now, with this set. In the meantime I thought "Oh, Brian sent us some?", but I can't find them in the folders, so I think they did get blogged? It means we'll have a good comparison post another day, as there are lots to compare, what with the re-issues, Thomas orange ones and two base-types for the Marx!
The pointing astronaut is also made in 54mm, and with the Mystery Space Ship in 35mm

Hello Hugh, have you noticed that Ed Berg has got set 4625 on his "Toys and Stuff" site - listed under Cape Kennedy in his index - also showing the assembly instructions, and he seems to have a list of what should be in the set (his own example being incomplete).
Yes Robert, and I tried to look-up the set on Ed's site, as I knew he'd recently done some of the other sets, but in common with mine, his Blog is currently only displaying Tags up to M, but not as far as Marx! I'm hoping this is a Blogger glitch which is being worked on (last week it was only showing up to B-something), so I will have another look under C, check and link! Thanks for the suggestion, Sprecher's is unclear, and Erik Johns' site has gone!
