[quote user="DigitalGriffin"]I hate to sound like a cynic, but if it were true, would there not be a European equivalent of Walthers?[/quote] Don´t think of Europe being one country. Despite the EU, Europe is not at all united, especially when it comes to model railroading [(-D] If I were to list the businesses you find in my country, it´ll take my quite a few hours. There must be well over 200 of them! The same goes for the UK! Talking of figures - Marklin´s sales amounted to an average of $ 120 million in the past years, which is about 10% above the next largest, the Kader Holding, owner of Bachmann. Maybe that´s an indication. Marklin´s main brands Marklin, Trix and LGB are mainly sold in Germany . Roco/Fleischmann sales reach half of Marklin´s turnover. I doubt that Walthers reaches that level.
