Making Amtrak figures

[angelob6660]

Midland Pacific I never noticed that on the right side. I always looked on the left and partial right. I thought if I did look at the windows there be nothing there.

Thanks for the output on the figures and wonderful insight.

If you look closely at the top picture, you can see a Penn Central logo in the window- that's another Metroliner on the next track, and I bet the one that they're seated in still has a PC livery as well.  

 I would bet a dollar to a doughnut that photo was taken at Washington Union Station!

I rarely buy painted figures, I buy unpainted figures and use Crafters Acrylic paints.  The Crafters paints are flat and look very good, another plus is the Crafters Acrylics are $1.35 for 2 oz as well as hundreds of colors to pick from.

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

 

Very nice. I always like nice figures and extra details.

I started this mini-project with unpainted figures.

I did some surgery on some of them, and added parts with putty.

Some sanding and some craft paint...

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Preiser HO set 10 10054 contains 6 Amtrak personnel. Not sure of the exact era. It's apparently no longer made, but turns up sometimes if you do an online search.http://www.bgtrainworld.com/storefront/shop/item.aspx?itemid=3126

According to this page, that set could pass from the 1980s thru the 1990s.

I thought of modeling early 1970s Amtrak employee clothing. In either N or HO depending on skill and availability.

Like this one but I don't know it anyone makes this in figure style.

I was thinking of this style too. It might be easier, right?

Are there any figures that might be close enough or do I have to scratch build?
