It was mentioned that NASCAR and pro sports are entertainment and railroading is transportation. This is true. If you look at Ford, General Motors, Dainler-Chrysler, Harley Davidson, etc.. all those modl products are licensed. I notice the model Taurus vehicles I bought made by Atlas say it is a Ford licensed product. I guess Ford has just killed off the model car hobby with its licensing fees. <br /> <br />My wife collects Coca Cola stuff. All of it is licensed by Coca Cola. They are not in the entertainment business. They are in the beverage business. I got a Lionel monopoly game as a gift a year or two ago. Clearly stamped on teh box is "official licensed product". They are trademarking the use of their models which are replicas of actual products made by American Locomotive Company, EMD, et. al. If Lionel can license their products, why not UP or anyone else? <br />
