Just noticed for the first time (yeah, had it for years ...) that a lot of the people in my MTH Northern Pacific Mainstreeter set are unpainted!! About 1/2 the figures are painted and the rest are raw brown plastic. Screwup or MTH cheaping out?

The brown ones just came from the beach.
Party in coach number 3. 
I have noticed that this hobby is teetering toward depravity and perversion for a number of years now. I first noticed it in about 1955, when I bought a box of Plasticville people, and they were all unpainted, but molded in "flesh" colors. It accelerated in the 1990's, when some German outfit issued figures "doing stuff". Also, many layouts feature "other side of the tracks" scenes, where who knows what is going on in the buildings. This must be stopped. Oh yes, it must be stopped.
