i'm relatively new to the MRR scene, so i'm too new to it to remeber a time before you had to pay extra for licensed products. i'm totally with UP on this, they have every right to do it. what if your favorite railroad had to start having their stuff licensed, yould you abandon them? i have been in to fixing up old vw's for a long time. in the past 5 or so years volkswagen of america started cracking down on any shop, event or product that used the word beetle, bug, buggy, and so on. only genuine vw parts could have their logo on them, most of which had not been made by vw in years. almost everything is made be "repoppers". vw had cut it's ties to the aircooled lineage in the 80's, but that never stopped people from buying and fixing the old cars. shops are now faced with serious lawsuits to change their names, many have just closed up shop. events are having to get creative with the names and simple, common parts like hubcaps and may be hard to get. so from what i've seen an extra 5 bucks is a drop in the bucket. at least you can still get the thing!
