This will all come out in the wash to the good of both the RR and the model community. I have worked extensively with the BN and I can assure you that many managers in high places are modelers too. At the same time, the BN (and many others) have a duty to abide by copyright laws and answer to the share holders about logo usage etc. Only token monies will change hands, and we, as modelers, can be thankful that the RRs will be looking into accuracy of colors and emblems for us.
