As you may have seen in previous posts, I do like to include interesting “vignettes” of life in my model railway. These days all sorts of sets of model figures are available that allow a huge range of situations to be modelled quite simply (although quite expensively!), but also there are standard ranges of “passengers” and “shopper” that can be placed in interesting ways. I have a bus queue, for example, groups of people with luggage waiting at the station, and people standing at the bar at the beer festival.
For Christmas I was given a simple little set with only one character, a cyclist who had slipped off his bike on the ice, ideal for my model railway. The video shows him being placed, and looks at a few of the other situations.
I was also given a large quantity of slightly smaller and less detailed seated figures which I am gradually placing in my coaches to fill them with passengers. I have already dealt with this topic in a previous video, which I copy below for convenience. It is a long job painting the people in more realistic colours and fitting them in the trains, so I am doing it a little at a time and will end up, I hope, with train that look like they are earning their keep!
