RMweb Gold Nick C Posted February 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 15, 2021 Master Piece / Falcon Figures do custom figures for lots of RTR locos - I don't think he has a website though, the number on the packet of the C class crew I've got is 01428 727341 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Torper Posted February 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 15, 2021 if you're looking for ready painted figures, Hardy's Hobbies can provide a wide range of their excellent 3d printed 4mm scale footplate crew ready painted at £5 each.

Tony Burgess Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Timely, as I'm just fitting loco crew myself. P & D Marsh ref PDZ19 provides two crews, and I may be using the driver from one and fireman from the other. They are cast metal and come painted. There's not a lot of space, and you have to set the fireman in a position such that his shovel doesn't foul a 'plate' below the firebox hole when the body is replaced (actually, as supplied, the shovel blade is probably too large for a Terrier!). I'm hoping that I've judged things OK when it comes to re-assembling mine. I had to carefully file some of the feet to obtain these results. Next job is to paint the resulting bright exposed metal. Being quite a heavy metal, the crew are adding a little weight behind the rear driver. I may compensate the loco balance by adding lead in the space above the DCC-ready socket & blanking plug area, as I'm not planning to chip this loco just now. The combined extra weight may not be much, but will aid traction on gradients which is important on our layout.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I used some of the Bachmann figures in our Terrier. Some details here... There is also some posts about the older Dapol and later Hornby Terriers, this is earlier in the thread, starting about here...

RMweb Gold Right Away Posted February 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 18, 2021 Same as RT above; Bachmann crew on the “Terrier”. Some non-railway staff Bachmann figures can be repainted and posed to represent footplate grades as shown on the “P”. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tim Hall Posted February 18, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 18, 2021 Mostly Bachmann, but a PD Marsh or two as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
