The 3 car sets of both powered and dummys arrived today. Very Nice!

Did you get the blue or green set? I just picked up my CTA green and cream add-ons. I'm glad the Qs are in but I'll just have to wait!

Green sets only

Well, I wound up picking up my green Qs earlier than planned! Got a call from Trainworld and they had my set. I think I will get the blue add-ons eventually. I like the look of them and they have BMT Lines on the sides. The greens don't.

too old for my taste.

Matt, did you see them? Are you sure the lettering is there? BMT Lines? I would think with MTH's licensing problems, it wouldn't have any lettering?

Must be thinking of the REAL one in the transit museum.

OK, this is a traction part of the blog, so this Q can't be a charater from Star Trek; the Next Generation.

So, who are these Q?

No lettering

I would think it would be on the blue version. . 1. It's really old and shouldn't fall under any copyright. 2. It's not a logo. It's just lettering. That would be a lot harder to fix than a circular logo. A lot of the green ones had no lettering anyway.

Actually, the "BMT LINES" logo is NOT one of the MTA's trademarked properties. "BMT Lines" was trademarked by a now since-defunct apparel manufacturer, and is in the common domain. MTH should have no problems using it.

Nice hat Ben!

I have my three add-ons out and now I need to do what I did to my R12s and LoVs-put people in them!

Well that is at least a logo, even though as you say it could be used. The Q's that used lettering were only lettering straight across the top which would be even safer.
