[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by EL PARRo I have to say that I totally agree with ACL Fan. On a slighty different note, I'd like to remind people just how small this royalty is. From UP's own website: "on a $10 item royalty rates are pennies." At that rate, a locomotive that costs $150 would have about $.25-.50 in royalties. Any model railroad company could EASILY absorb that. cacole said that he saw an ad in MR for a Kato locomotive, and the UP version was $10 more than the others. If that is the case, then it seems that Kato, and probably other manufacturers, are using this royalty as an excuse to "extort" money from model railroaders. [/quote] Actually its its something like $3.75 which is still not much.
