Do they turn off the jet engines if they don't pay, or do they send them a bill? There is a huge difference. Also, writing it in a contract doesn't make it ethical or even legal. Just because someone writes it in a license agreement doesn't mean that we as a society should blindly accept it. We don't allow people to sell lots of things, why should we just say 'well it was in the license' because someone tried to sell 'being able to have turn off your own passenger train for more than 10 days'? |

People who buy trainsets are sophisticated buyers. They have lawyers, accountants and engineers advising them. You don’t sucker a semi-senile grandma into buying your trains unseen. Nobody buys trains on a drunken dare, or as an impulse purchase.
Because of this, if the financing is more viable that way, companies should be able to purchase, rent or lease their trains under whatever model makes the most sense in their particular circumstances. This of course assumes that the manufacturer deals fairly and the purchaser is properly informed about what they are buying, leasing or renting. (Which does not seem to be the case here, and that is unethical and a problem. The kind where people should go to prison in my opinion.)
