There is also a news article on Trains Newswire regarding the litigation:

However, a subscription to Trains magazine is required to read it.

That said, as mentioned in the "Members Only" Section of the forum, there will be no discussion regarding the lawsuit on the WW&F Discussion Forum.

The WW&F sincerely hopes that an amicable solution can be found that furthers the restoration and care of all the Maine two-footers.

To bring this topic to closure, but without further comment, this article notes that the lawsuit has been settled.
