It's already been said, but PEG will be re-releasing soon.
As far as other companies goes, I like Old Glory
(http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com) They have an extensive line of ACW,
West, and Indians that are the closest to being "in scale" with PEG stuff
that is out there.  

Foundry (http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/) has really sweet stuff, but they
are a little too short compared to PEG for my tastes, although they do have
zombie cowboys, as well.

Speaking of zombies, Eureka (http://www.eurekamin.com.au) has zombie pirates
available.  They also make some really slick Penny Farthing bicycles, with a
variety of locomotion methods (Steam, rocket, etc.)

Finally, this site has some interesting steam wagons, zeppelins, and a
subterranean digging machine:
