Modern-Era Construction Figures in N scale?

Does anyone know of a source (including 3D printed) for N-scale figures of modern-era trackside construction workers, ie with vests, helmets, etc.... (smartphones optional I suppose)?

Bachmann has some in their British/Hornby line. I think Kato does as well. I know Preiser has various construction sets but I don’t know if they have the vested ones.

Thanks for the pointers, I found a couple of the Preisers:

The first link has a few with the vests, tho most (including the Kato) seem more suited to 40s-60s eras or so. I was a little surprised that WS doesn't seem to have anything modern-era.

Looks like the Bachmann are OO/HO (1:76 scale) -- do they make N scale?

Looking under Shape(less)ways under 1:160 Figurines, looks like you can find elephants, bison, and even people on Segways, but (alas) no workers...

I have a set and while they are a tad bulkier then Preiser the height difference isn’t noticeable
