You could have figures of all your friends working on your layout!
Here's a company in the UK that's already offering 3D printed figures:

Wow! If the price comes down to something reasonable, I can see populating my layout with friends and family!

Nice stuff. I could see their stationmaster serving a more contemporary US passenger terminal.
Also, some of us would also be interested in the hardware they make for the switch rods that run between turnouts and modeled-or-not interlocking towers.
3D printing is really moving forward on a monthly basis. I looked into having a 3D print machine make a couple hundred. And to keep it under $3-$4 a piece they were limited to 4 colors. This websites don't seem to have color limits. Give it 2 years and I am sure these photo booths will be in the US for $30 a figure (for small runs under 5). Local colleges may also have some computer assisted design students (and their technology/printers) who can help too
