Re: [CBQ] Heritage Paint

Hol, my understanding for UP’s use of reporting marks from their heritage fleet is that UP’s fleet is so large they were running out of numbers for new cars and locos. Using the heritage reporting marks expands their roster and thus the numbers they can use. Of course there is also the trademark issue, use proves they still own those names and logos. A few years ago UP was prepared to sue model manufactures who did not pay an exorbitant user fee. Fortunately for modelers someone got to their legal team and UP became easier to work with. Perhaps because BNSF was very cooperative with model manufactures.
