Excuse me but railroads have been getting a lot of bad press lately and just about the only members of the public who think they have a future are us hobbyists. Go ahead. alienate your best friends. Besides, the companies who engage in licensing are consumer oriented and are mostly in the entertainment sector. Class ! railroads are neither. and most of their P.R. efforts consist of safety messages which have the effect of telling the public that railroads are dangerous neighbors and recent news coverage bears this out. Yes, railroads are multi'billion dollar companies, and the goodwill that they get from a healthy model railroad industry is worth more to them than the few bucke that they stand to gain from a wounded model railroad industry. I hope Bromley loses this battle because UP will gain more from our hobby if the precident which has stood since Bing and Ives put prototype road names on their tin litho trains 90 YEARS AGO continues..
