About the modeller

Populate your coaches • Coaches were made for transporting people, so our models need to have a few passengers inside if they are to look right. Unless your layout is a branch line whose existence is hanging by a thread, you'll need reasonable numbers, too. Fortunately, cheap figures are available, and once loaded aboard, carriages will look much better than running empty.
