I agree with the idea of sending out letter to the DCC manufacturers about MTH's patents. However, such a letter, in a hobby such as ours, should have included a meeting of the minds. A gathering of DCC tech types, MTH's tech guy and some NMRA folks to discuss the various patents would have been highly productive and perhaps, dare I say it, have lead to cooperation within the hobby and an advancement that would have benefitted all. These types of letters do not have to instill fear in the recipient. We are in a small hobby. It never ceases to amaze me the respect that the major magazines have for one another. Competitors? You bet! But you'll never see either talk bad about the other. In that kind of environment, everyone wins - especially us hobbiests.
