Got several bags of the MTH figures to paint and a pack or two of the RMT ones. I see several ads on Ebay for painted ones, of course from China. Has anyone found a new source for seated passengers which they are happy with? I have alot of passenger cars to fill and plan on mixing up all the brands and cut and fit--but the more the better! thanks, Don

Aren't there something like 120 figures in each of those several bags? How many passenger cars are we talking about?
I've used up around 300 passengers so far, and I have lots more cars to do. They go fast when you put about 15 or so in each car! I'm still looking for a good source. I note that the typical 1:50 ones are usually too big, I favor the S-scale size for my cars.
This topic has come up before, I sure wish there were suitably sized figures that didn't cost an arm and a leg!
I always preferred the K-Line, subsequently Beep People, seated passengers as they were soft and easy to bend/adjust their feet. I have also used the current "Little People" from Sunset/3rd Rail/Golden Gate Depot.
