@jamesPLANESii Thankyou, I have your first AN-2, one of my favourite planes and used the crash test dummy figure to help sort out some of the balance issues, that's what led me to making more accurate figures
@RailfanEthan OK... Sounds like a challenge. I'll make a start at the weekend (if possible, the height from the footplate to the bottom of the window would be useful to know)
@RailfanEthan OK, I've only seen an Alco S100 up close (there are not many US engines over here). As the S100 is a standard USRA type design I'll go by what I remember of that. I imagine the driver would have his hand on the regulator but stood to one side between the brake and the reversing gear whilst the fireman is stoking...
@RailfanEthan For a left hand or right hand drive engine.. most British engines were left hand drive up to about the 1930s. Engines built after that were right hand drive and many older ones were converted for mainline operation. (I'm assuming you want a British rail train pilot as per the photo) I guess US engines are right hand drive. I'll make a fireman as well

+1@RailfanEthan You are correct, I put length of the length of the 109 by mistake

@CRJ900Pilot Of course, that's why I'm making them.
