MK35 Editions have announced the release of a new Locomotive driver to their civilian range.

EDIT My mistake this figure is not to 1:35 scale but to O scale = 1/43,5.

Boy, I don't know....if I put out a c##p load of money to buy and build a German Locomotive I'm not sure the scene I'd be making a diorama around would include the engineer pissing.
Just seems like an odd choice of poses considering there are so few railroad crewmen on the market.

Puzzled as always,

Looks more like a dude that's hard up, has been on the rails waaaay too long, and his condom broke.

Seriously, in my opinion, this is about the worst "specialized" figure I've seen yet. A figure actually doing something with a train (maintenence/DRIVING would have been a 100 times better. What a shame.

An absolutely terrible figure. The way he holds his upper body makes him look more like a dictator (no pun intended) addressing an adoring crowd.

The proportions look a bit wrong too. Tiny feet, thick arms and hands... I won't go on...

I have to agree- his left arm looks dislocated. I have bought some MK35 figures in the past which are quite good but even at the low price I won't be buying this.

From MK35:


Quoted Text

This locomotive driver is not to 1:35 scale but to O scale = 1/43,5.
It was created for some modelers being fond of steam trains in France from 1930 to 1960.
His attitude is well chosen because at this scale we often see some very classical attitudes.
This locomotive driver have a natural attitude like everybody every day : he have a "piss" while his steam boiler is filling in with water.


My apologies to MK35.

I should have waited til this morning, after my coffee, to post the story

First Master Box's motorcycle crew "letting off steam" and now this. What is the fascination with golden showers?

Looks as if some of Verlinden's figure designers have found work elsewhere. This is onlyone of the reasons I purged myself of their crap long ago. As mnetioned, the figure isn't that great, but come on - there are so many other things he could be doing that would be a lot more interesting- oiling the driver bearings for one.

Got to agree with what`s being said here,this is definately taking the micheal when there are better things he could be doing.I crewed up my BR52 with a figure borrowed from Tamiya`s Famo and he still looks better than this rubbish.
