You get 69 pieces of foodstuffs. Apples, bananas, breads, cheeses, cucumbers, cabbages, pears, peppers, etc., 32 produce boxes, 16 different sacks, and an impressive 11 piece scale. All this comes packed in a lightweight colorful carton sealed with tape. ....http://www.modelgeek.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=3141While these are designed for 1/87 HO scale, they can be used for with any scale you wish, especially 1/72-1/76.
