3railguy you forgot one thing. By UP getting their starter sets in every home, CSX and NS are forced to sell out and the UP becomes the first truly trans continental railroad system. Prices for everything traveling by rail skyrockets. There are food shortages and DVD shortages of Jennifer Lopez concerts. [:(] Riots break out in the streets. [:(] Anarchy prevails across the land. [:(] The government collapses. [:(] America is divided up between Mexico, Canada, Cuba and the Virgin Islands. [:(] (Ohio becomes part of Canada and our fish are all taken captive. North Carolina becomes part of the Virgin Islands and the Chief is forced into selling carved wooden trinkets on the streets of Rosyville.)

Needless to say, I think Lionel better get off of their butts and start working to prevent this situation. [:)]

BTW, the French claim Cleveland. [:D]

My prediction is the Union pacific Railroad will buy out Lionel (41,000,000 is pocket change to this multi billion dollar railroad). This is why I believe they began litigating their logo suddenenly. They saw this MTH/Lionel lawsuit and decided to add a straw to the camel's back. By owning Lionel, the UP will be able to put UP starter sets in every American home making their name a byword once again. The UP would also be able to give Lionel exclusive rights to the UP logo. The UP could also give Lionel exclusive rights to UP designed equipment such as harriman designs. The UP may have their eyes on TMCC. A great system for their yards. TMCC requires an outside grounded rail. Something they already have.
