I have a question about the Lionel forklift operator figures.
I have a reissued, purchased new #264 Lumber Forklift platform that came with the correct loader figure - he has a small extension on his back to plug into the hole in the seat on the lift.
I have a reissued, purchased new Oil Drum Loader platform that I run on the same layout. It appears to have the same forklift operator as the 264 with an extension on his back to plug into the seat, but the hole in the drum loader forklift is in the bottom of the seat, not on the back. Hence, the guy never sits in the seat right and flies off at random times, usually then getting hit by his own forklift and derailing the works.
I opened both of the packages on these so I know they weren't switched accidentally or on purpose.
Is there supposed to be a separate forklift driver with an extension in the proper place to "click" into the seat to avoid this problem?
