    Someone running for a train and reaching it just as it pulls out and looking pissed off. Not that that's ever happened to me.

    One other thing that I thought of...
    Can we have the correct Moon, i.e. one that actually looks like the real moon. I assume it's not a copyrighted image. if you need a source file there's an astronomy club at Chatham High School that could probably get a good picture for you...

    The American one or the Australian? There isn't a school in Chatham UK simply called "Chatham High School"

    For inspiration they could always look at the figures that Preiser and Noch produce...
    I'd like to see the odd person fishing, rowing a boat, or people walking down streets, or standing and chatting. perhaps people loading/ unloading lorries or working in the goods sheds..

    An authentic diorama would be "looooots of people staring at smartphones"

    Maybe getting hit by a cement truck? Naaaahh, that would be pushing it ... :cool:

    we have football scenarios on east Coastway and Birmingham. The issue is the "busy football services" are empty trains more or less

    Is this an extension of the point that at the first loading / unloading of any train 95% of passengers get off?

    I guess yes, though there wasn't many in to begin
    With on the BCC one. I "believe" the scenario follows the passenger time of day curve as standard and is set at a reducing point in the curve. Secondary to that there's not a fake football shirt in sight

    Which in reality there would be
    I guess this doesn't need to be a diorama as such as such kits would be pretty standard on many days anyway, but maybe the numbers would need adjusting on certain scenarios if they wanted to make the passengers more realistic for that trip.
    Then again where do you stop? Having been on the Medway Valley line at 8am I can say they'd better do school uniforms more than anything else as the train is full of them
