Y'all need to relax. The hobby is not "ending." UP is not the railroad of the devil. The company does not "thrive" on being bad or "messing things up" for other railroads. Remember, the goal of every company is to put its competition out of business. Copyright and trademark law is very clear. If UP (or any other railroad) wishes to enforce its legal rights, they will make money by charging a licensing fee to manufacturers. This would be much more in line with a business philosophy than simply keeping companies from using their trademark. And, as pointed out above, there are companies already enforcing their rights by charging a licensing fee for use of their name and logo. Relax. This hobby is fine. It's not going anywhere.
