Bachmann Blue Pullman - Driver

Just in the process of upgrading my Bachmann 00 guage "Blue Pullman". I am adding 2 21 pin sound decoders + speakers into the driving cabs; I purchased these from You Choos at the Warley Show last weekend.
I took the loco bodies off to access the chips and put some passengers in. I had also obtained a set of Pullman stewards from the London Festival of Modelling show in March this year. Some of these have been added to the interiors to serve the passengers.
Alas there seems to be one missing but important element- the driver. He should be his white "ice cream " uniform with white hat. Has anyone got any suggestions on where to get one or how to make one. He is the missing link to what is a superb model.

Hello,

 

have you considered taking one of the seated drivers in Bachmann's Train Crew set  "Bachmann Branchline 36-407 1950s Train Crew x 6" and painting his jacket / upper overalls white?

 

Once placed in the cab I would wager that the fact the Ice Cream Coat isn't knee length isn't noticable.

 

By the way, what are you using for a sound chip?  I too am looking to fit my Blue Pullman with sound.

 

Regards,

Richard

Hi Richard,

 

I purchased 2 "You Choos"21 pin Zimo  sound decoders at Warley last weekend with stay alive capacitors. I am getting some help from our digital expert at my club who is excellent with fitting them and problem solving.
