@Lehigh74 posted:MTH Railking Alco RS-3s are nice locomotives, but they don’t have a crew. For good reason. There is no room in the shell to put the standard engineer/fireman figures between the window and the plastic that hides the motor.
Since I had the shell off of my Suzie-Q, I decided to solve the crew shortage problem.
MTH sells 120 packs of passenger figures (about 80 seated and about 40 standing). After populating my passenger cars, I have many of the standing figures left over. The figures are actually S scale, but even then, they need to be trimmed down to fit in the RS-3. Painting the passenger figures for passenger cars is usually a tedious affair, but these were easy since only about ¼ of them will be visible. A little Scenic Accent Glue and the RS-3 has a crew.
OK you’re gonna get into trouble with the brotherhood of locomotive engineers and carmen. We require two crewmembers, not one. LMAO
great job/fix/find
