From the article cited above: "Hudson Products had changed their name to "Custom Products Company,"
The OP was referring to this late company that made trains with the Lionel logo, without the permission of the company who ultimately could do nothing but gain from the free advertising, or as they claimed, the "infringement." The Lionel "sales prevention department" could have looked at it another way, IMHO.
We have been confusing it with the original Hudson Products Co, from the middle of the previous century... the one that we old guys remember... who made reproductions of the 5344 / 700E in kit form.
I guess it's another example of generation gap syndrome.
