Interesting passengers in new MTH Premier Alaska Passenger cars

Those are quite interesting 

I wonder if any other Forumites noticed the smart phone lady?

Smart phone? She is probably sharpening her Ulu knife.

I actually got the diesel and 4 car set and think it is absolutely a terrific looking set. Didn't realize for some reason that it came with passengers! I was blown away when I saw it! Runs great too!

A step beyond the old Marx cars silhouettes.  All the lines run in the train, so you need some Norwegian Cruise Line cars...I dunno about the Disney Cruise Line, as I don't remember in the train,  but they were there in the harbors.

But there may not be regular cell service on some of the train's route.  There is the Iridium satellite service.  Expensive, and may have service gaps, due to facts of AK being so far northn and the position of the "birds".

Strange comment , Dominic. Whittier and Seward to Anchorage and north to Fairbanks and south to Eilson AFB has always been the only way to get around. The highway and the railroad follow the rivers and valleys.

If you have Verizon, you're good.

At first glance I thought she was putting a pin in a voodoo doll.... now THAT would be an interesting passenger.....

I think I sat next to that voodoo woman once! No effect , but now that I think of it, I get itchy all over whenever I see a chicken! Hmm

Craig,

   Now that is definitely cool, I put lots of passengers in my coach cars and on my work trains, I really like both of those new additions to the passengers.  Thanks of the heads up I will now need to look for them.  They should make a great addition to my passenger cars.

Are the figures under-size? I find that scale figures will not fit into MTH passenger car seats without amputations. Especially in dome cars, I use under-size figures (1/100 in the photo).

Very nice to see some passengers that are interesting to look at and more modern in appearance. 

Smoking a pipe, WHAT???  I thought everything now was no smoking, what kind of scale realism is that??

Good one! I like that reasoning!
