UP Surcharge for Modelers?

Seems to me it wasn't too long ago that some guy in Pennsylvania actually laid out money to sue some model train maker over royalties connected with the Pennsy logo and lettering. I wonder how that turned out. <br />Some corporations in the USA are really sensitive about how their logos are used or presented. Hollywood has made a secondary profession out of licensing "products" based on their films. I'm not sure I blame UP for wanting some kind of control over their "corporate face". It's an unmistakeable trademark, just like the Warbonnet scheme, and I doubt they would like much having Armour Yellow and Gray used on a trainset labeled "Chattanooga Choo Choo" or "Thomas the Tank Engine".
