it wouldn't even have to be a gentleman's agreement, just plain
common sense will do very nicely. If Lionel already has the SD70
on the market, why in blazes duplicate that locomotive considering
how thin the market is and how tenuous the prospects for
sufficient profit?
MTH could produce plenty of locomotives that have not yet entered
the market, from both earlier times and current production. What
utter nonsense to duplicate what Lionel is doing! I thought people
in executive positions had more sense than that. That's why they
are where they are. Apparently, that is an unfounded assumption on
my part.

While it is none of my business, duplication like this seems to be
such a waste.

I think the days of gentleman's agreement of "If you're doing it,
I won't" are now over.
