Where do you find Engineer Figures for Locos

Santa Fe VAOGR Forum Member

Some of our locos come with an engineer or fireman figure, others do not. Depending on the room, I have put some of the RMT Wally "engineer" figures in the cabs and they look really good. Unfortunately I don't have enough "Wally" guys to populate the fleet and sometimes they are too big to fit in the smaller spaces.

What is another good resource to find engineer appropriate figures to fit in the actual locomotives?

And what are you using to make them stay in place....we tried a Lemax sticky pad that works okay and makes it easy to remove figures but looking for a better product.

Also hope to start populating some passenger cars with some 1:48 and 1:87 people, what do you use to keep them glued to their seats as well?

As always, thanks for your assistance.

Arttista has some good ones as folks up above suggested. However, I have never used them, instead I:

- re-paint seated MTH and Woodland Scenics people.

- use figures I have taken from locos I retire to the spare parts bin. I have two or three spare engineers and firemen now.

Thanks everyone for the Arttista suggestion.

What are you using to keep them and passengers in place? Don't want any lawsuits from angry riders when my son takes the curves too fast!

I use CA glue or a tube of epoxy because I don't want them coming out. Tried hot glue, but it don't last forever.

Yes, Arttista.

After I install the seats from Arttista, then the figures go in; both secured with a mix of Goo and CA after cleaning off a bit of paint from each to attach metal to metal.

I use both Arttista and MTH. They are about the same price. MTH come with seats and offer two steam era and two diesel era figures. Precision Scale also offers a number of different seat styles.
