Does the set come with minifigs? You'd be able to pose one holding onto the last "spare" one, right?

Yes, it does. 1 male and 1 female in blue overalls. "The 2 LEGO®minifigures with tools, display track and plaque provide lots to explore after building the classic train." https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/crocodile-locomotive-10277

<p>After assembly I have these 5 pieces left. Should I have put them somewhere? I can't find any missed step that would use them.  So why are these there at all?</p>
