donald and douglas nameplates

[Hoss]

you can always have nameplates, you just have to buy etched brass ones separate.

And they will never happen, if anyone made them HiT would jump on them like a ton of bricks. And etched brass plates for a toy? Think about it... 

Not from Bachman, from a different company that you buy separate. Would be nice though if it was an option. But that's not going to happen. Health and safety regs. A mixed blessing.

I was talking about other companies, they'd be treading on very uneasy legal ground, and HiT would be more than keen to clamp down on them.

Does HiT have the names "Donald" and "Douglas" trademarked? I don't think so. The trademarks are "Donald the Scottish Twin Engine" and "Douglas the Scottish Twin Engine". But the nameplates would merely say "Donald" and "Douglas", and so it would be HiT on shaky ground. It would be like suing for putting "Steve" or "Bob" on the plates.

Wonder why Disney didn't sue for the "Donald's Duck" episode...

Perhaps they liked the joke. Plus, it is merely a name reference. It's not like Dilly wore a sailor outfit and talked with a speech impediment.

All this over nameplates that will probably just fine on the engines when they are released? All I have to say is facepalm.
