How are we going to get new recruits, when we ourselves are being priced out of the hobby!! Take your trains out of the box and play with them! That's why they were made!
Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.
I am a person with a very active inner child. This is why my wife loves me so. Willoughby, Ohio - the home of the CP & E RR. OTTS Founder www.spankybird.shutterfly.com
QUOTE: Originally posted by bermuda ken Uniike the other replies here (so far) I say go for it UPRR!!! There is nothing wrong with any company trying to protect their identity. In the "go fast" and "blame it on others" world we live in now, everyone has the right to protect thier identity. How would others here feel if someone "stole" thier name and image and made some $$$ from it?? You would be FIGHTING MAD!!! I see nothing wrong with a company policing its name. Harley, Coke, Pepsi, GM, Ford, Kenworth, GE, ect all do it. Why should a RR be exempt from this right?? Those who have a problem with the UPRR licensing items need to QUIT BUYING them. The train OEM's will get the message....eventually, maybe.
I'm back!
