The ten and twelve piece MTH/Atlas passenger figure sets have plenty of detail. Perfect for use in dome cars. I too have found that the adult male standing figures are too tall for the vista domes. Child and female figures do fit thought, at least in 18” full length vista cars.

How did you keep the passengers in their seats? I used to use rubber cement. I currently use WS Scenic Accents glue. With either of those, you can get them out without too much trouble. I think MTH used CA glue. The one time I removed a factory installed figure, he got decapitated before I succeeded in getting him out of his seat. I’ll have to add something on that in the first post.

I used a glue gun. Actually had to remove the two standing passengers when I realized they were too tall. First, the glue gun held them very well with absolutely no effort. To remove them it was just as easy. Didn't snap the feet off. I just pushed the base off the glue with a toothpick. If they aren't going to be strained (like passengers) a glue gun is all you should need and it's effortless to get them back out if you want/need. People complain about the glue gun strands. When I use a glue gun I just put my blob down, then use my fingers to grab the glue from the gun. Quickly set the passengers in and they melt right down in the blob. The strings are so hard so fast, I just pull it away after as it will snap off at the start of the blob of glue.

Thanks Bob. I will be converting older silhouette cars to led in the future and they will need people. Great resource.

Gary.
