Answers.Text: The Adventures theme is a great source of inspiration - I've never really looked at them before. You're certainly right about the facial hair!

Body: <p>I want to do a Victorian style station to go with my steam trains. I've got some great ideas for the building and accessories, but I'm not sure about the people. How can I make Victorian-looking minifigures?</p>
  
  <p>BTW: I don't want to permanently modify bricks, but would consider the use of stickers.</p>
  
  <p>Ideas I already have:</p>
  
  <p>Headgear:</p>

  <li>Deerstalker</li>
  <li>Peaked cap for railway workers</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Sadly, the Lego bowlers are either blue with a flower or grey with a question mark - not really suitable.</p>
  
  <p>Head:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>For males, any that have weird facial hair (there are surprisingly many) and/or round glasses</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Torso:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Smart suits. I've read that shirtsleeves were considered unseemly.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Any other ideas?</p>

  I want to do a Victorian style station to go with my steam trains. I've got some great ideas for the building and accessories, but I'm not sure about the people. How can I make Victorian-looking minifigures?
  
  BTW: I don't want to permanently modify bricks, but would consider the use of stickers.
  
  Ideas I already have:
  
  Headgear:
  
  * Top hats
  * Deerstalker
  * Peaked cap for railway workers
  
  Sadly, the Lego bowlers are either blue with a flower or grey with a question mark - not really suitable.
  
  Head:
  
  * For males, any that have weird facial hair (there are surprisingly many) and/or round glasses
  
  Torso:

  Any other ideas?

  A number of the minifigs from the [Adventures theme](http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?theme=Adventurers) would fit the bill in terms of round glasses and facial hair, especially the Dr Kilroy character:
  
  ![Dr Kilroy's Car](https://i.sstatic.net/AhIWC.jpg)
  
  They also have versions with suits, etc.
  
  There's also a ["Detective" figure](http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=8805-11) in the Minifigures Series 5 with the classic Deer Stalker hat that resembles the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.
