Thanks for the welcome and the info, guys.

I even called my wife into the room. I showed her the box art on an Amazon copy of MSTS and compared it to the "cover" image for Railworks 3, and she totally understood why I have been confused for months.

I figured it was just a publishing /licensing deal, but oh well.


That's why Trademark law is all about letting the consumer know who is responsible for what. IF the original appearance had been trademarked -- and not allowed to lapse after 10 years -- somebody at RW would be in trouble. But if that stuff wasn't trademarked (or had been but the 10 years of rights had run its course and not been renewed) then it's open for use by anyone. And apparently "anyone" did.
