Let's do something productive and realistic regarding this boycott.

Ok let's be realistic here. WE are not going to make much of a difference if we boycott anyone listed. There are 157,859 people signed up for all 7 of the message boards. That's 22,551 per message boared if distributed equally. Probably a third of that is on regualary that makes 7,517. Lets make a wild estimate and say half model steam. So that leaves 3,758 and probably only a third of that models or even cares about UP so that makes 1,252. Even though that's probably a really high estimate of how many people actually care. That is only in this forum how many model railroaders out there don't visit this website and don't know this is happening. So it comes down to that there still is going to be more people still buying UP than there would be boycotting. <br />As dharmon would would have to boycott every MRR company and could only kitbash items from materials we make ouorselves. Which seems extreme and more expensive and time consuming than paying an extra 5 dollars on an already well priced engine. If you think engines are overpriced than try kitbashing one your self. It would cost your twice the amount of one RTR. It's seems extreme what you all are suggesting and i think we should be happy that we have such nice and well priced rolling stock readily available to us. <br />Andrew Miller
