How do you make steam engine drivers lean from the cab window?
Many modellers of steam locomotives like to install engine drivers into their cabs to add realism, and some even like to take things one step further by having the driver lean from the cab window, but how is this done?
The good news is, there is no big secret when it comes to driver poses, no manipulation of plastics or metals is needed and there is no need to be sawing the arms and legs off your miniature figures to reattach them in a different pose, unless you want to of course!
There are plenty of ready-to-plant engine driver figures out there that exhibit poses suitable for leaning them from a cab window. Preiser, Faller and Noch are a good place to start, however, their figure sets are rarely titled to help you identify specific poses, so you will need to do a little searching.
