Dustin on Ice

Although not a singing role, Dustin plays a key part in Starlight Express. His only solo lines are during Freight, plus dialogue scenes after Poppa's Blues and the Starlight Sequence. He also guides everyone to find Rusty after he disappears, having won the final race together.

Costume

Dustin's role in the freight train is as a hopper. He carries coal in his capacious body, as is seen through his open shirt front. He wears sturdy work clothes- faded check shirt and trousers held up with braces. His helmet is reminiscent of a safety helmet, the "safety first" ethic suits his character. His large shoulders are a direct copy of the shape of a coal hopper, one of the most literal designs in Starlight Express.

Dustin's outfit was redesigned for Starlight on Ice. He becomes more extreme with no waistline discernable, a very large, clownish figure.
