Roundhouse Bill posted:Flyer Rich, Actually there was never a record of any legal suit filed by Lionel. It seems it was a rummer started later. The real supposition is Gilbert quit making it because it was such a repair problem for service stations.
Anyone......Please let me know the answer to my question?
Thanks

50 years ago, the story was that Lionel squawked about infringement. It might have been a conversation between company bigwigs that did the deed.
