Think what may be missed is that there is not a huge market out there! There are other ways to make money which doesn't involve dealing with people who want a model railway. I am an agent for a company in the US which manufactures most of its products at home. When I go to local shows I find that although the few people who come through the door are interested, the majority don't want to pay for the quality when they can buy cheap second hand imports from China. From what I can judge, there is a small number of people who have both the funds and desire to buy high quality items . There are others not so fortunate, but not enough of them that manufacturers think it is worthwhile to look for their business.
