No, not a drug "pusher" but a figure that can be posed as pushing an ore car. I know that Woodland Scenics makes a guy pushing a big crate, but the Woodland Scenic figures look too big for use on the T&LBRR. And LeMax makes a figure of a guy pushing a barrel and one of a guy pushing a hand truck, but these are too small. Any ideas???

RE: Looking for a "Pusher" Figure
Man,,, what a play on words. I ignored this thread at first thinking someone was doing an inner city scene with a Pusher, as defined by the band Steppin Wolfe
'G0d D@#n the pusher man'
The animated guy pushing the cart is fantastic. I've seen it before, but its always fun to watch.
Can I suggest that you buy a figure you like and alter it?
Or, get some sculpty and make your own. Also, Prezer sells a kit with six figures called adam that you can pose anyway you want. You'll have to add clothing to them though, and they are not bakeable.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was actually looking into your figures, but didn't see one to do the job. I've got lots of "Adams" and "Eves" too. These were all skinny dipping, but nude plastic figures were too controversial so I had to add swim suits.

RE: Looking for a "Pusher" Figure
Great job on the clothing! You shouldn't have any problems making a 'pusher' out of an Adam figure. I try to keep as static as I can get with my figures because, they tend look strange when the rest of the layout is moving and thier in an action pose that goes no where. Thats what attracted me to the animated figure,,, it was actually moving. Another problem with the action pose is the alignment of the figure to the other objects he/she is interacting with. Easier if they are sitting, standing or leaning, not so easy if they are pushing, picking up, or opening something.
Maybe I'll make an adam kit some day, so that people can articulate the figure to meet their needs, but that's a ways off as I have a mod on a ruby, a scratch build on 3 observation carts, a mod on connie, and a 1:6 scale figure I'm working on now.

They look perfect. If they are between 2-3/4 - 3-1/4" they would be fine. Will these be at The Big Train Show?

Todd,
John shows his figures as 1:22.5, 'G' scale and they are in stock, if you want to make sure email him, he is in Arizona today at the Eaglewings Iron Craft show....
I do have this figure and she is little over 3" tall.....

I'm sure that John would have sized them to go with his other figures, also featured promenently in the scene, so they will be fine. These two guys are already tired of pushing these things day in/day out and have been asking about their replacements.
