I came up with a solution for even caring if my favorite railroad Norfolk Southern (ok, actually it's the old Southern, but you get the idea) appears on a locomotive model or not.
I went to work for them. Now I don't have the time or desire to fool with the models any longer, and I honestly do get tired of seeing the logo sometimes!
Sure, I sometimes go to a hobby shop and look, but I no longer buy. Of course paying 1000 bucks a month child support is also a contributing factor to non-purchases...but that's another story!!!
I'm sure the NS will jump on this bandwagon as soon as they find out UP is making a penny or two on it. You would not believe what NS does to try to make a buck. They do EVERYTHING under the sun EXCEPT try to get new business or preserve old business that they already have. I often feel that NS outta close up shop and sell the entire system to an amusment park company.
