Does any vendor carry window silhouettes for passenger cars?
To my knowledge…no.

Fast,
I’m assuming that you’re referring to silhouettes of people? The same type that we saw years back on some O-Scale passenger cars and on some HO passenger cars from Tyco and Lifelike.
One simple solution would be to make your own! Office supply stores sell white and transparent decal type sheets that you can put into your computer’s printer.
Try what I just did, go to Google and type into the search box: Silhouettes of people sitting. You’ll see lots and lots of figures. Copy and paste the ones you like, resize them, print them up on the decal paper and Wala! [;)]
Here’s what I found so far:
There’s a tad more to printing decals on a home computer and preparing them for application than, “Wala,” or as the French say, “Voila.”

Ok, how about “SHAZAAM”!!!

Yeah, i’m also interested in making more detailed coach interiors. I have several MU and Rapid Transit cars, some of which have large windows and its easy to see inside. If i built them empty, it would be obvious.
For example, i have a set of PATCO cars (pictured below). These things have big open windows, and though the window material in the kit is shaded dark, its not dark enough to hid the interiors. Since the interiors DO have seats, i can at least put passengers in.
I suppose styrene and wire could make the partitions between the vestibules, but what about miniature advertisements? as was said, its not necessarily easy to just print a decal out.
Lighting also will be interesting. Luckily, NWSL stanton drives can fit under the car, so i don’t need to hide the motor.
Hmmmmm. OK Ray. [:P] That’s obvious but I was only pointing him in the direction. It would be up to him to explore the details involved.
Since you posted the response… [;)]… can you then please provide some details? At the job I work at, I have access to making decals and it’s rather simple, but of course the equipment is more sophisticated.
How would you do it at home on a laser or ink jet printer?
BTW: Wala is short for “Wala-Wala Washington”. You’ll find that transit shop workers in the southeast U.S use that term often, just as many people still use the old cliche’ of “Bingo!”
