Criticism of UP Lawsuit Against MTH

A reader of the Coshocton Tribune, a small town paper in Ohio, had some poignant criticism of Union Pacific’s lawsuit against MTH Electric trains.  UP is suing MTH for unauthorized use of it’s company logo.  The reader writes:

As I have been a railroad fan for many years, this action by Monstro
(the UP whale) to gobble the few minnows of profit earned by small
model makers sickens me to the point of nausea. The modest profits of
companies like Lionel, MTH and others probably total a miniscule
percent of UP’s income. And yet, UP can’t muster an atom of goodwill
toward an industry which has kept UP’s name and logo in the forefront
for decades (not to mention all the free advertising).
