Thanks to you guys here on the forum I have got to doing some silhouettes.
Printed off the figures from some kind person here then laminated them another suggestion from here.
To take the top off the coach proved to be a problem but found if you first remove the rubber diaphragm from the far end to the door right at the end you can insert a flat screwdriver and turn & the roof pops off.
Once off using a sharp knife cut off the plastic window.
Now all cleaned up you can cut & fit the silhouettes where they look best using contact adhesive.
Left overnight then pushed on the roof.

The final picture of the ones done this weekend, only the same to do again.
Many thanks to all the guys with their ideas that made this possible.James

Nicely done. Among the other upgrades I have planned for my railroad, I plan on adding those same silhouettes to my Hogwarts' cars. Good idea of laminating then too which will allow removal of Plastic window film that came with the cars. Btw, Alibatwomble, curious about how you treated the middle pictured car, why are windows on the right side blue? Is that blue paper, or what?

Hi the middle car being a brake/baggage combine I wanted a dark area so used some left over window dressing that I laminated from the Ameritowne  buildings.

Fitting more silhouettes today as I found some Dementors on line.
