Rob;

You may also want to post this query in the live steam forum. I am reluctant to use a figure on my locomotives when they are in steam, but I have seen other folks do it. Most plastics will soften from the heat, so you need a material that will handle the heat in the cab. Generally, I will pose a figure for photography purposes, but refrain from running the locomotive with a figure for two reasons: 1. many figures are made with materials that don't handle the heat, And 2. my fat fingers cannot reach the controls that well with a figure in the way.

Thorin looks nice in the photo, but would probably melt if his locomotive were in steam.


Good luck in your search,
David Meashey

Larry, thanks for the plug. I no longer offer resin castings. I offer 3D prints that I do not recommend keeping too close to a live steam engine.

I am working with Ozark Miniatures to have them take over casting resin figures and filling orders. I don't have the juice for that work any more. It is just easier to sell 3D prints through shapeways.
