Thought you'd all like to know that Fox Transfers are not producing any more nameplates.  Once they sell through, that will be it.

Also, they are not producing any more EWS transfers due to copyright problems (money!) since DB Schenker took over.

So, DBS buys EWS, and along with it, the copyright to the EWS logo.
EWS, for the same reason must've owned the LoadHaul, TransRail and Mainline logos. Presumably they now pass to DBS too?

Thank heavens the BR double arrow was retained by the state, so we all own it.

(I seem to recall the model bus industry had similar problems with some companies, including their NBC predecessors).
Two rails good. Three better.

Being owned by "us" isn't always good. Eg the UK military have some of the most unreasonable and impractical licensing models for their crests from a model rail point of view.

Gerald Burney's logo is still a copyrighted item restricted from many uses by its owners, the people, even if its owned "by us".
