Just to add to operations, a bunch of us have always talked about having a flagman figure ride on the caboose and be dropped off while switching...and then the train has to go pick him up before it continues.
I've been wanting to make this one for some time and finally decided that today was the day.
So, he's a bit crude, but I'm pretty pleased with the way he turned out. (Man, the camera is cruel. He looks better in real life, really he does!
) My wife says he looks put out.
I still need to do some smoothing; and painting, of course.
I'm also going to be making a flag to hang off that brass rod. I'll just need to get it to hang right.
