My policy is to not allow any Union Pacific on my layout. I built it, I own it, it is mine. <br /> <br />The problem is that the manufacturers may choose to raise the price of every unit regardless of the road to pay Union Pacific a royalty. For example, if the UP royalty works out to six dollars a unit and UP units account for 25% of the total sales for a given run, the manufacturer may handle it by raising the price of each unit by $1.50 to pay the UP royalty instead of charging $6.00 extra for the UP units. (I think my numbers add up here, but I was a liberal arts major so some of you math and science types should correct my math.)
