Hi
I know a lot of train manufacturers HO and OO scale (Bachmann do both) make loco crews specifically designed to fit their locomotives.
Bachmann don't seem to do this does any one know why?
Can any one sugest a brand of crew that is suitable for
Bachmann steam locomotives.
Is the demand out there to justify a top notch crew to fit bachmann locomotives
Perhaps they could base their crew on the Bach-man image that we have all become used to right down to a legible bachmann cap badge and big mustache for the driver
(I did say top notch crew)
Thats my thoughts any others got thoughts on this??

In the USA  Bachmann does have a crew in the Spectrum HO Steam engines. They don't have them available for sale separately. I have tried several time to get some.

What i have found for USA HO engines are Atlas Engineers and Firemen. Good price direct from Atlas. Broadway Limited also has some nice crew figures. Woodland Scenes also make a nice crew set.

For OO gauge Hornby in the UK makes a nice set. And for HO German Engines i use Roco or Preiser.
Do a search on Ebay US for crew, firemen, engineer and you can see what they look like. The ones i use most are Atlas. Good for steam or diesel.
