At the same time, some HOBOS would be nice to add!   ;D

Another thing...

Not  to be overly PC or anything like that... but how about some Black railroad workers?

Bachmann's Big Hauler products seem to be roughly based on the 1880 - 1910 time frame, and people of color were DEFINITELY a part of railroading back then.

One of my Bachmann conductors got demoted to a Pullman porter for a service on a kitbashed "private varnish" coach, and a station agent got converted into a bartender on that same coach. I've gone over some of my firemen and assorted people with a paint brush too...  but it would be nice to have some of them come off the shelf reflecting reality and history.
