The passenger cars are nice in any scale that Bachmann makes, but why don’t they make miniature people for the cars and engines. It doesn’t look prototypical to run a 10 car passenger trains completely empty as the real railroads would gone broke without paying passengers. Many engines lack a crew and I don’t think AI was running a steam engine or a diesel engine.
Cheers,
