If you had real live 1/4" to 12" scale people for your layout, what would you have them do?

I want to assign at least a dozen of them to a section gang, to keep the crud off the FasTrack rails. Then I want a full sweeping crew, whose responsibility would be removing dust from every part of the layout. Oh, and of course, plenty of roundhouse employees to make certain the locomotives are all properly lubricated.

1. Keep the cats off the layout

2. Hold a parade through town every April and October when York comes.

 They would be a maintenance crew to put the cars back on track at hard to reach locations.

First I would appoint some to become census takers, so that a true population count could be determined.  We would not want to miss out on any federal monies for Lionelville for the next decade.

 If there was "O" scale animals I wonder if rats and racoons would live inside tubular track?
