Hi there
So, I have searched for the better of half last night and again this morning on a "How To" or even a "This is what I did" when it comes to attaching figures to cars, engines, what have you.
See, I have a few open cars and a nice new caboose and some figures I wanna attach to said cars, like in some pics I have seen. (I'm lookin' your direction Chessie4155...)

I have this memory from a family trip to California in 1972 of a hobo waving at us from a flat car hauling large concrete culverts. He had a six pack of beer and was waving for all he was worth. Even did a little jig. I thought it would be cool to re-enact, if you will, a childhood memory. Minus the jig part. I don't think I could handle a dancing hobo yet.
I thought about just gluing, but maybe I should use my smallest drill bit and pin vise a hole, then use a bit of wire and glue.
What I don't want to do is just start in with no concept of how to make this work and mess it up. I have a caboose that I can use as a trial, but I really don't want to waste, or mess up, a figure. These little guys are kinda spendy...
Any help would be great.:thumb:
Thanks!
George
