These are great... except for the picture of a jet plane on the male carol singer's jacket. Apart from that, these would be a great for parts.

<p>A number of the minifigs from the <a href="http://www.brickset.com/browse/themes/?theme=Adventurers" rel="noreferrer">Adventures theme</a> would fit the bill in terms of round glasses and facial hair, especially the Dr Kilroy character:</p>

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!

<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>

<ul>
<li>Top hats</li>
<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>

<p>--- Edit ---</p>

<p>As an example of what I have in mind, here's a railway worker I made from parts I got from PAB. Of course, I'll need passangers and other staff, too. And I'm more than happy to order individual parts from bricklink (as long as my wife agrees!).</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:

* Smart suits. I've read that shirtsleeves were considered unseemly.

Any other ideas?

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.
