[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jsoderq Before you start another war, almost any other hobby has had licensing for many years - Nascar, all pro sports, auto models, truck models, almost everything you can think of so UP is not going to kill model railroading. Diecast is stronger than it has ever been and it is almost 100% licensed. [/quote] YOU SITLL DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AT STAKE. Model railroading IS UNIQUE. Our trains are barely affordable for many people now . I think your Pro licensing stance is ideologically based. NASCAR is in the ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS. Images ARE their MAIN PRODUCT Railroads are in the TRANSPORTATION business and the WIDESPREAD perception is that Railroads are DANGEROUS BAD NEIGHBORS that are DISAPPEARRING anyway. This perception is being strongly reinforced by the railroads themselves with their Operation Lifesaver and other programs wh8ich are designed to highlight how dangerous railroads are to the surrounding community. While safety messages are important, the fact of the matter is that the railroads have aboput the WORST P.R. there is. And I will PUBICLY DEBATE your boss John Bromley on that point. Go ahead, kill the hobby and take out the only group of people who believe in railroading Railroading IS NOT NASCAR OR THE Beatles AND IT NEEDS ALL THE FRIENDS IT CAN GET.
