Why no 1930's cars in HO?

There are too few modellers working in the 30's and 40's time period. Where there is no perceived demand, there are no models. Most modellers are working the steam/diesel time period. Hence the abundance of 50's and newer vehicles. No one will invest in the necessary tooling to produce a product for a limited market. Manufacturers need to be able to see where they will get a return on their invested capital. I model up to 1942 and share the chagrin other modellers of this period feel, but we are not a large enough group to get anyone excited about producing the vehicles that fit this era. <br /> <br />Tom
