Hello. <br />I am new to this board. <br />I have herd some shocking news that the model train industry is ending, and the number one reason is that the reailroads want to enforce a law that has been in the books for a long time, wich is to get a fee for using there railroad name, ie, Union Pacific, also there paint color etc. I dont know of this is true, but I have also herd the chairman of UP wants this inforced. I would encourage us as model railroaders to fight thisuntill we win. Whats next, is the auto, truck aircraft etc makers going to do this to???? It all boils down to GREED. If this becomes law, we WILL no longer have a hobby. Other railroads who are joinging this are CSX, BNSF, and Montaina Railroad Link. This can and will raise prices of model train products, and it all adds up to NO HOBBY!!!!! We need to fight this period.
