RogerB will probably ban one of these pictures , but Manydown Station has an open roofed "Gents" toilet at the end of the main station building, and there is nobody in it! So scrolling through the list of Finescale Figures I found a guy having a pee and a guy leaning up against the wall. So very soon the toilet will be occupied - although you will not normally be able to see inside.

Always the one for detail Barry.

You might have to change the attire of the two blokes in shorts and vests. Bit modern for your layout.

Yes they do look a bit yobbish? As I said, once their in the loo you won't be able to see them.

I added a touch of Tamiya Clear Yellow to the LED's in each carriage to take the brightness down a level or two.

Much better Barry. Can’t work out why they fitted a ‘cool white’ LED in the first place.

That looks good.

The coaches need some passengers - I wait for the Southampton show and see if I can pick some up - they need to be legless

Thats better Barry will do that to mine they are little bright.

Barry, search Amazon for HO seated figures - quite a few packs on there. I used them to populate my LNER rail motor last year. They will need repainting to make them usable but inside a coach you don’t need to be too fussy and I didn’t need to remove their legs.

Thanks Steve - I'll have a look on Amazon. Sorry to see your having problems with your Hornby orders. Have you received an email/letter saying your membership needs renewing? My membership expires on Feb 1st - I ordered the sound Deltic today - transaction all went ok. This is a "collector" buy, I used to see the loco regularly in my spotting days (late fifties), and will probably be my only loco purchase this year - still awaiting previous years orders.
