[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ShaunCN Union Pacific has gone too far!!!! I will never buy a Union Pacific model again. Lets just hope that the other railroads don't follow Union Pacific and make us pay extra. Good thing I model Canadian National, I feel sorry for all of those Union Pacific modelers. ShaunCN [/quote] I don't think UP cares if you never buy another of their models. I will say this again, for those who missed it before: UP is in the business of making money by transporting goods. Manufacturers who use the UP logo make money for their company by using UP's property (logo, colors, etc.). UP is well within its rights to ask for a cut of the money someone else is making from their copyrighted property. "Flattery" or the supposed "advertising value" of people running models of their trains is pointless. No one is going to look at your model of a UP loco and say, "Hey! I think I'll ship my next load by UP!" As for the issue of greed, you're spending $75 on a P2K locomotive, but you'd be unwilling to buy it if it cost 5% more? So you'd stop modeling Union Pacific if that engine cost $78.50 instead? How about a $10 boxcar. It would run you a whopping $10.50. Relax, folks. Go back to the Athearn Is Discontinuing Blue Boxes!!!!!! thread. Model Railroaders sure like to complain.
