Get a lawyer onto this if it matters to you. Don't ask for business legal or copyright advice on a model railway forum. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Agree, and a specialist in copyright / IP to boot

Their website T's & C's don't mention their stance over copyright or more importantly intellectual property.  It only states

Quote1.6 Any material that a visitor to this website sends or posts to this website shall be considered non-proprietary and non confidential. We shall be entitled to copy, disclose, distribute or use for such other purpose as we deem appropriate all material provided to us, with the exception of personal information, the use of which is covered under our Privacy Policy.

To me this states that anything provided to them such as artwork, images etc can be used however they want to use them, as if you as the creator has no control of where they end up.

The only thing that would concern me if it were my business is that any artwork submitted is replicating a full size livery that a 3rd party designed and applied to the full size vehicle who would own the copyright / IP of that design.  Thus anyone replicating said livery would need permissions from the originator who came up with the livery.

Again, just my thoughts, I'm no legal expert... you would need a specialist copyright lawyer to confirm where / who owns full copyright.

I still have four Minitrix Britannias; all are runners (some better than others), though not now used, and all are chipped. The first was bought in 1975, the last 1989. They are all repainted and renumbered, though, and are mostly on, I think, the third set of tyres. My Dock Tank still exists under a class 04 brass body, but the 2MT and 2MTT are now gone, as are my original 9Fs.

I also have a P+D Marsh 'factory built and painted' cl 47 and Peak cast body, though currently no chassis for them. The peak went on to a modified cl 40 Poole chassis (and was written up in the Journal) after the original stretched Mehanoteknica chassis failed. They date from circa 1978.

I also still have, though not in use, some Poole early mk1s with the window 'strip'; they are all fitted with Ultima etched replacement underframes.

No doubt I also have some early Peco and Farish wagons hiding somewhere.

Not for nothing are you known as 'Gusty George'

Quote from: TeddytheSpoon on Yesterday at 08:28:26 PMFunnily enough the Ivatt 2MT was my first N gauge purchase as well - and funnily enough, also bought second-hand in (or near) Geneva! Must see if I can dig it out of my folks' storage one of these days...

Geneva had 4 or 5 model shops with good stocks of railway models back in the 1990s and I bought quite a few British profile minitrix items there including a Flying Scotsman, Evening Star and Britannia ... now I think there's only one left! A couple of the others went over to the dark side of RC cars and planes ...

Yes, I grew up in Nyon and the one model shop they had there has done the same - seems to be a worldwide trend. Must admit I'm surprised it's still going, even without trains!

I must check out that Lausanne shop next time I'm there though...
