It was the practice in some movies to letter the equipment with non-existant railroads. I think "Great North Western" is an example here.

Interestingly, Woodland Scenics has "hobos" and "bums" in their Scenic Accents line, as well as "policemen" of course!

Good post. You just reminded me to add that movie to my NetFlix queue, which I keep forgetting to do. Thanks. :thumb::thumb::thumb:

BTW, the movie title was originally "Emporer of the North Pole," but it was rereleased as just "Emporer of the North."
