I know that was directed to Frank, but I don't have hobos on my layout as it takes place in the height of WW2. The draft would have been going on for a while by 1943 (with the standards severely slackened the following year after huge losses in the Pacific and Europe invasions). While it wasn't illegal everywhere (though, I found, it was in a few places) to be a transient during WW2 in America is your draft number hadn't yet been called up, people didn't really allow it as much as they'd had during the Depression.
Heck, I actually removed every able-bodied male figure from the layout that wasn't in a military or RR uniform. The only draft-age men figures on the layout now are RR employees or in the military. The rest are women, kids and old men.
