This has became a signature cameo now and harks back to the layout that titles the web page. The 009 layout in question, built some 26 years ago, featured the Airfix/Dapol schoolboy figure looking through the bridge railings. Since then, if there was a bridge, he stands watching the action, though there has been some inventive ways to do this as there is not always bridge railing to peer through. This is a case in point with the parapet walls and he has been shunted southwards.
I used to know who the sculptor of that set was. I do know it was either Ron Cameron or John Niblett. Sadly the set I've got show the age of thew mould and isn't in the best plastic, but they still have their uses.
