May I introduce to you: Hank and Benjamin! It's Hank's duty to get the locomotive down the track in a safe manner while Benjamin makes sure that Hank can almost always find some hot water in that boiler. The 3951 has its crew!

Extremely well done!!! Now, I assume that Hank is blowing the whistle, i.e. he is seated in the Engineer's seat. However,,,,,,,,,,,what is Benjamin doing, i.e. standing up?
Benjamin leaning on a shovel & taking a short break after shoveling some coal, maybe?
Very nicely done! Nice shading & highlighting plus some dirt & grime to show the crew hard at work. Most importantly, NO BUG EYES or gloss garments. Excellent!
Very nicely done, and very realistic clothing as well!

Not on a UP 3900 class Challenger, he wouldn't! No "shoveling" on a locomotive THAT large, i.e. they were stoker fired (when they were coal burning), thus the Fireman "works" in a seated position at the stoker, and exhaust steam injector, controls. A mentally challenging, but not a physically challenging, job, plus pretty dirty.

Nicely done. These were 3D printed? From what source?
So, what is Benjamin doing? Leaning on the back of his seat?

I don't know, that's why I asked Sarah. Maybe that's why Sarah stated, ".....while Benjamin makes sure that Hank can almost always find some hot water in that boiler.". Nothing mentioned about Benjamin maintaining steam pressure.
It'll be interesting to find out, & once again, very nicely done!

Maybe here: Andlan models
Sure looks like the source.
Great paint job!
Awesome job Sarah!!
Yep, exceptional work, as in everything Sara does. The detail and expressions on these figures is second to none......Andlan Models has a home run with these.
