Would Slug Units Be a Good Idea or Addition For Railworks?

As the title says. I was thinking of making a couple of slug units when I realized that they might be pointless. Because I looked on Wikipedia and saw that all they have are traction motors as power. So would they be a good addition to Railworks and should I go about making one? Thank You in advance.

VRC has a CSX and a NS slug/mother available. These are the only 2 I know of available... But variety never hurt anyone that's for sure!!!

CN uses a lot of GP9 slugs for yard work, usually coupled to chop-nosed GP9u.
