What a great addition though careful here - not everybody is of equal height Curious to see how you will paint them - including skin colour (though that 'might be easy' with the boss - a pale skin ).Per
Figures look great Chris. The right side one reminds me of Alfred the butler in the 1960's Batman show. Good to hear about the apult for when need arises! If you did use a Dilbert figure, it would be appropriate, you would have an engineer at the throttle! (modern usage of "engineer")
I really can visualize your earlier comment about the lack of space on the Catwalk - there certainly are some areas where the 'new Members of the Team', will have to be very careful if they want to pass when the engine is running .... almost feel like CAREFUL There.
! Same on the steam shovels - it was almost impossible to walk down the cab next to the main hoist engine/gears without leaning on them. Not a problem when not running, but if moving, yikes! It quickly explained why the old photos usually showed planks that the crews hung on the outside of the cab walls to let them go from front to back around the engine compartment.
