Well, I don't know about for each "class" (as that somewhat archaic concept
really doesn't technically exist in Deadlands, there's some vestige of it),
but it would help for things that get played a lot.  I mean, HoE has sheets
for scrappers and for Cyborgs, and the Weird est could rpobably benefit from
sheets for things that get played a lot, like any Arcane Background
(including Martial Artists and Voodooists), The Agency, Rangers, and
Gunslingers.  A Harrowed character sheet could also just get rid of the
Worst Nightmare entirely since it's an entirely moot point for them and
instead the space could be used to keep track of Dominion.  Granted, making
this many character sheets would be a royal pain in the ass for PEG, I'm
sure some of us could handle it (what's the font used for the Aptitude
listings?) and it could just get posted to the website, aving PEG time that
could be used to produce books.
