.an MTH Railking diesel (Alco PA - Santa Fe? It looks too "empty" without an engineer running it. I have to say it is a sweet running train.
Thanks everyone.

From your message, you apparently want a crew in your locomotive. Check the Walthers Catalog or go to Walthers on line. 1st generation locomotive cab kits are available. You may have to do a little modifying, either of the kit or your locomotive's interior. Usually quite simple with patience and a few hand tools. Several companies make locomotive cab crew figures, already painted. Prices are reasonable. Since you have an Alco PA, I'm assuming that you're modeling the 1950s or 60s when many engineers still donned the traditional striped or blue overalls with the striped cap. Check Walthers for this also. If modeling from the 1970s onward locomotive crews here on the east coast could often could be found wearing casual outfits with shirts ranging from polo to lumberjack style. Jeans or Khakis the norm. More relaxed, comfortable, casual looks. (I've met a lot of protype railroaders!)

LaBelle makes two sets of loco crew members. As suggested, check out Walthers.
Take care,
