As I've said before and speaking from a business mans point of view, I think UP is acting stupidly! What has changed from the days when Sanat Fe paid Lionel to use their hearld and paint schemes? Again and again and again, why is this an issue now, after all the years of a somewhat symbiotic relationship between real RRs and toy/model RRs. <br /> <br />As interesting as this thread is, I read in Model Railroading News that Athearn and Kato are bitting the bullet and will be paying the licensing fees to use U.P.'s trademark and why shouldn't they, as they will be passing the cost on to us (well, not me, I don't model U.P. or it's merged RRs). There are no benefits to litigiously battle this issue for the manufacturers as it would take large sums of money to fight! <br /> <br />
