Actually Michael, they didn't, at least they didn't before about 1980. I have hundreds of photos showing locos and coaches so utterly filthy you can barely tell what colour they are! Here are a few examples:

This is the look I'm striving for. I just love it and it makes the models look so much more real than the shiny "out-of-the-box" look most models display.
