The CFR has recruited three more drivers(engineers). They scale out to 1:20.3. They will be employed driving the ever expanding CFR diesel fleet.

From left to right, Gareth, Mick and Gavin. Gareth and Gavin are twins. Micks white boots will soon get rather grubby.

First look it looked like a codpiece in the "hip area", but I see that it is an articulating point.

The young lady in the background seems pretty interested in the new talent.

The figures are made by Schleich, they are usually sold as parts of sets. However I picked up the five figures which were being sold separately from the sets. Schleich do sets of cowboys which lend themselves to modification.
