Well I'm not having much luck finding some Chefs. I may have to scratch some up from regular S people. Even butchers in aprons would work once you make the proper headgear. Most historical photos show two chefs in cramped quarters.
John, I think I'm going with the stainless look. Fridges, griddle, prep table, ovens, pantry storage and sinks are all squares (like me!). Shouldn't be too hard. Now if I was making a stack of plates, that might be a little difficult, but fun for sure!
I was even thinking of making some small baking sheets on the prep table with brightly colored Christmas cookies on them and oversized hot chocolate cups. The cups have me stumped... for now.
I'm going to have to take some measurements and make a drawing.
But the elephant in the room remains that folks paid almost $200 max retail for this car. And this bare area didn't get caught by Lionel? All they had to do was screen it. geeez.
