Thanx Mats,
I'll give it a try tonight. Yes the description for the figured bass is a bit cryptic where the manual and regression test seem to differ. Also the examples give tend only to involve a direct score generation with no 'instrument' variables as you would normally generate so knowing what to put where is sometimes difficult.
I tend to generate templates from previous scores so once I get this score working I'll use this as a basis for instrumental scores with a figured bass. I only have to add instruments as needed the rest of the setup is there. Maybe there could be a facility where people could share templates etc it might make grasping the technicalities of lilypond a little easier if people could start by entering music instead of figuring out the coding a score.

First of all, I note that you are using a feature that is not mentioned
in the manual, namely \figures, which turns out to be shorthand for
\new FiguredBass \figuremode
(The only documentation of this feature can be found in
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/topdocs/out-www/NEWS.html
but it is also used in the figured-bass.ly Regression Test example)
Anyway, the problem with your code is that the FiguredBass context
cannot be included within a Staff context (but it can of course be
included in a StaffGroup). So, it should help to move it outside the
Staff context:
\score
{
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff{ \violinsolo }
\fb
\new Staff { \continuo }
>>
\layout { }
}
