How sad this all is. I don't believe that UP now has the good name they used to have. First the CNW merger didn't go well. Second the meltdown in Texas during the SP merger. And now they want money from the model train industry. Just shows a greedy railroad become more greedy. The steam excursion is the one and only bright spot that UP can still boast of. But can the steam program overcome ALL the other problems and continue the good will ? We will have to wait and see. <br /> <br />My question, is it just the UP models that are being increased in price or all models because of this? If people are given a choice to buy a KCS unit and a UP unit but the UP unit costs $5 more, which will they buy? The cheaper one of course, well in most cases anyway. Seems to me that UP is shooting itself in the foot. They will be loosing alot of free advertising with lost sales of model engines. Well, big business getting bigger. What can you say?
