I'd like to second that.
It appears I can clone the AJS station and add the kuid for a different passenger set but there doesn't seem to be a way to replace the existing AJS stations with a new one. ie search and replace.
My layout was created in TANE and although the default passengers looked a little modern they were acceptable. When I try to run the layout in TS22 the passengers have been replaced with something that looks totally inappropriate.
I understand one approach is to copy the old passenger set over the new. This works but when a new version of the passenger set comes out you end up with the updated version so it isn't really a solution.
Another approach would be to stay with TS19 and ignore TS22.
So suggestions please.
Thanks John

The obvious solution is for N3V to have the basic common sense to create a 'vintage' passenger set for anyone (most of us?) who are modelling before the 21st century. That said, what idiot thinks that the average railway platform is like a catwalk? God knows my journeys to London Victoria would be a hell of a lot more exciting if they were!

Exciting indeed. No children; no "less than perfect" bodies; no elderly travellers, and predominantly female other travellers! From a male perspective .......... where in Australia is the station from which this is modelled?

The sets exist it's using them that is the problem. The stations need to be set up and the carriages as well. The carriages can be set up by the content creators if thy so wish but the stations are a problem. They can be cloned (AJS invisible station) with the correct passenger set but at the moment I can't a way to search and replace them.
Cheerio John
For the invisible stations, you need to search under industry for each asset name as in say AJS Station 1x50sQ 1 or whatever the station was named as and then manually delete and replace. Get the names from the dependency list.
Just tested it here.

Pre-Grouping Railways Nut
100% agree Paul. This would have to be the most ill chosen group of figures that have ever been intended to stand upon a railway station platform. They might be realistic figures in and of themselves, but they are not suitable for purpose. There are specialist companies that do 3D people scans for making historical as well as railway related model figures and I'm sure they could have provided a much better group of modern day passengers than this sorry lot.

I have seen female railway passengers (Toronto Union station) in figure hugging attire, and I have seen a few scantily glad ladies (both in the minority I should stress), but I have never seen a group of railway passengers clearly "posing"! That is ridiculously unrealistic. It would not surprise me if some female trainzers take offence at the obvious stereotyping. Shame on N3V.
