They were, I believe later marketed by Peco (the model railway firm) and can now be found under the 'Modelscene' label. Packaging is as the later Merit type (ie card backing and clear plastic bubble) and even the numbering is as the Merit original (ie 5xxx)<br /><br />While I don't know how widely available the range is, most of the model railway shops on the net have at least some of the range.<br /><br />The figures are prepainted and can be very useful, but can work out quite expensive if large numbers are required 'en masse'<br /><br />The trees in the Merit range were 5047 (fir), 5048 (poplar) and 5049 (alder), with 5020 being hedges and 5090 being stone walls. Various types of fencing and gates were available, from feather edge panels (viz back garden fences)through wattles to post and rail<br /><br />Just visit your local model shop and see what you can find, you'll be amazed what the railway chaps have had for years!
