"Lacking above is also Bob G's involvement in the Lionel vs. MDK K-Line speed control and transformer trade secret lawsuit that eventually led to the demise of MDK-K-Line."
Bob was chief of engineering at K-Line at the time. He didn't steal any of Lionel's plans (he had been chief of engineering at Lionel). He hired the Lionel engineer as a consultant designer and that individual was believed to have used Lionel technology for his consulting to K-Line. Whether Bob Grubba knew about this is moot, since hiring someone who does something wrong is not in and of itself his responsibility. Lionel's lawsuit against K-Line named their own engineer, but not Grubba if I recall correctly. Grubba is thus taking the hit on his reputation for the actions of others (designers in Korea and an engineer at Lionel). Very likely unfair and not reflective of the facts as they were litigated in court.
