Had a mad moment today and bought a January 2016 Railway Modeller. On page 83 is mention of a planned release of Bachmann Scenecraft figures. Available in first quarter of 2016 are two pairs of figures. There will be a loco crew (driver and fireman) or station staff (station master and porter). At £24:95 a pair of figures they are not cheap but I imagine, as they are Bachmann, they will be reasonable quality. Further sets are planned in due course.

Some of those look pretty scary to me but a repaint might calm them down a bit.
Price seems fair though.

Compared to what is currently on offer they look quite normal...

I rather like "Service Person with Minibar" - although it looks like he's more interested in helping himself than serving anyone else...
I tend t go cheap and cheerful where possible, but some of these look useful, thanks...

They look a bit too modern for my liking and at first sight the fourth one down looks like he's having a dump.

The snippet in the RM mentions a '
new range of Scenecraft figures for 16mm scale to complement existing 16mm locomotives and rolling stock'. Apparently there are only going to be two pairs of figures initially and more later. With the G scale figures already available I'm hoping I'm not being a little naive in thinking they may be making some slightly larger figures for 16 mil. Or maybe they sell the G scale ones re packaged for 16 mm as shorter chappies!!!
Looking at the G scale examples and assuming a similar standard of finish, I think I might be tempted to repaint them.
