More thoughts on a train mini-figure pack -
- I could see the track workers set being comprised of an engineer, a ticket
checker and four construction worker types.
- For more play value, include a hand car or other mini-maintenance vehicle
that can ride the rails.
- I've always liked the blue and gray colors that many other AFOLs use for
"classic style" train personnel instead of the more modern mini-figures
included in the 4561 train. (The google-eyed mini-fig head - ugh!)
- Include caps, beards, handkerchiefs, keys and train specific tools for our
dutiful workers. For example, the classic signal paddle on the cover of
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1980/c80eutr/c80eutr-01.html .
- And you need contruction hats in black and yellow when you are out in the
yard. (My hard hat crew has plenty of red).
