DTG is not interested in them. We have offered all our workers DTG including the GP40.

Also keep in mind that BNSF has restricted their license (non grandfathered) to North America.

There are plenty of threads about this here is you search for it.


DTG is very busy at the moment.

While I agree that DTG is very busy at the moment, you don't know what Jerry and I have spoken to DTG about. Really, they are not interested in them.

If you're not able to sell them yourself and DTG doesn't want them, why not just hand them off to TaD or somebody? And if that doesn't work you might as well just release them as freeware on RWA since you're not getting any sales anyway, and any would-be new customers who want them badly enough will just pirate them. Even if your licenses somehow prevented you from re-releasing the branded ones for pay or free, you could at least let people get the undec units and let the repainters do their thing. I get that it's not practical to continue selling stuff on your own but refusing to provide any way for people to get them legitimately makes you seem like you're just taking your toys and going home in a huff.

No, you don't get it. What has been said about this situation is enough.

I am really put off now. I guess I will go off home in a huff.

Thanks
