Anyone have a suggestion for figures for an ice house platform. I seem to remember seeing some somewhere loading ice into reefers. Or was that a dream I had?
Appreciate any leads and/or suggestions.

Back when I had an ice house,

Back when I had an ice house, I used figures from a track gang. One guy with a pickaxe lost the top of his pick to my nippers, which I thought looked more like an ice pick. The other guy with a shovel ended up pushing a block of ice. Also don't forget about workers with the horrible job of cleaning out warm reefers... old spoiled fruits and vegetables!

Ice House Figures

See the web site for my railroad, the Denver, Durango & Silverton (just put that in Google), and go to the posts about a scratch-built ice house I made last year.  They are in the "Structures" topic.  I made the guy pushing the ice block from a shoveling figure.  I can't remember if I had to modify the arms on the guy with the two-wheeled dolly, but it wouldn't be hard.  There are also many good ice house pictures with workers on Google Images.
