Fowler4f Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Where is the best supplier of Driver figures for the A Class. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARNE CABIN Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Hi @Fowler4f , the best figures that I have come across are produced by MODELU Finescale Figures. I have bought a number of them for my 1960's layout, but they also do modern image. If you look under Loco Specific Crew you will find suitable drivers for the A Class.

Fowler4f Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Modelu @£4.50 per figure, a trifle expensive. I ordered some speakers from YouChoos and found unpainted figures @£1.50. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they HO or 00 Scale? [EDIT] Apologies scratch that they seem all scales Edited November 19, 2021 by Noel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARNE CABIN Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Fair comment @Fowler4f, @£4.50 per figure they are expensive, and I suppose for a diesel driver, you're not going to see much detail! However, for someone like myself working on a small space, highly detailed layout the MODELU Figures are extremely detailed and I think worth the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishthump Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I've been using both OO and HO scale figures in my locos. https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/71-grahams-workbench/?do=findComment&comment=165393 I used a Bachmann figure for the A Class. It's actually a track maintenance guy but he works fine. You'll most likely have to cut the legs off no matter what figure you use. I picked up some HO gauge figures and I've been trying them in my other locos. You can see one in the 141 in that post. Again, looks fine.

I agree, they are super fine detailed figures based on scans of individuals in the UK. But for the pandemic we might have had a few Irish folks scanned by now. Maybe some day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowler4f Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 I need 40 figures, £60 V £180. If it was just a few I would have gone for Modelu. Thanks for the info Larne Cabin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
