Quote - But it goes back and it's something serious, just ask any HO scale modeler.  The Union Pacific got uppity about the model manufacturers using the name, on models of locos that ONLY the UP had.  Rivarosi made a very nice, decently accurate UP Big Boy, but now, it comes painted black.  If you want a name on it, you have to do it yourself, unless that has changed in the last few years.  Don't know if that was the start, but manufacturers  are kindy touchy about their logos being used on other products.

It actually has changed. UP was asking royalties, but relented after the bad press...
