I'm looking for some recommendations for some O scale figures for my locomotive service area, which is set in the late 40s-early 50s. Specifically figures that would look appropriate around water columns, oil columns, diesel fuel hoses, etc. I've found train mechanics but that's not what I'm looking for. Thanks.

The first thing that comes to mind is gas station guys, which come in a group of 5 or 6. I can't remember who makes them. I will do a search and get back to you.
I looked at those gas station guys and they're not quite right.
I have those track workers, working on track. I have the locomotive maintenance workers from Woodland Scenics in my engine building, so I'm looking for something different for the diesel/fuel oil/water area.
There is a company located in Great Britain, With the best figures on the market. They are actual scanned humans. And the model figure is molded from the scan. 1900s through current days. Very quick shipping to the US, and The cost is appropriate. Take a look.... They are 3D no other figures have this detail except "Printle" figures. They are under the Shapeways umbrella'.. Also, excellent' products... 1:48, 1:43, 1:50 etc......
you might try...

“1/50 preiser” in eBay (or 1/43 if you’re not bothered by slightly oversized)
scenic express o scale figures (probably what they call Chooholligans)

- Here is an example of some I purchased recently... Not line side personnel, except the two men in leaning positions...
Those are really great. Don’t they only offer unpainted figures? If so, very terrific paint job on your part (a bit tedious for me, though 😄)
Jerrman, you are correct'... unpainted only, and those figures are 1/43.5 which is perfect for painting. I don't find it tedious, as I enjoy bringing them to life'... But that's just me'....
Thanks for the tips guys. I'll look and see what I can find.
Ted you really kill it on painting those figures.
