Any time you make a purchase from a publicly traded company, US or overseas, you are making an impact in that companies quarterly earnings which is factored into the stock price. I don't know what model RR companies are publicly traded, but I assume that some are subsidiaries of larger companies that are. The fact that one person buys one of every offering of a company might not make a wide ripple in the pond, but large numbers of individuals that do this might get noticed by analysts and have a strong bearing on future sales projections, and thus stock prices. US or overseas, the investing market is global. Your mutual fund or 401k manager may have you invested in an Asian model railroad manufacturer even without your knowledge. Wayne
