I agree with Christian - the user fees are not the death of MRRing. Has it stopped anyone from buying Athearn (Walhers) AMTRAK P42s in phase V ?? Or their Coke, John Deere or USPS products? You are paying a fee on these NOW! And I note that P2K has not eliminated UP locos from their future product line. This article sounds like it was written in the best National Enquirer style! I would worry more about the impact on the hobby of the loss of beginner-level priced locos and rolling stock kits! Athearn Blue Boxs are quickly evaporating - many locos are no longer available except on e-Bay - for now! And there has been a corresponding rapid growth and price inflation of R-T-R products ($600 steamers being the latest). We seem to be headed toward a "plastic brass" market where only a few can afford to buy.
