Lionel and Athearn are standing up for US as modelers, and trying to nip this in the bud. I have said a lot more about all of this over on the CTT forum. My ranting and venting on this topic is continued here: <br />http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16704 <br /> <br />[/quote] Ditto. You can all have your fun punning UP now, but the other railroads will follow. Just take a look, CSX already is trying, next it'll be NS, BNSF, CP, etc. Then everyone will be fed up with paying and be forced to model shortlines or fallen flags (if the current RRs don't take care of that[:(]). I'm a hard core UP fan, and don't approve of this trademarking thing, but, this has gone far enough. And what were freakin Athearn and Lionel thinking when they started making UP models with the UP logos without athorization!? Nothing makes sense anymore............
