I would really be supprised to see Marklin stop production of Z scale after all these years, there is a large following for the Mini-Club as they call it. I do know that the German economy is feeling the trickle down pains from our own economy problems here in the States. They just layed off several hundred workers a few weeks ago. Just like here in the states, the market is flooded with product, and with folks layed off or working jobs that just barely pay the bills, trains are not selling fast enough to keep the jobs secure. With all the new high doller locos hitting the market in both HO and O scales, Not everybody has the income to buy everything they make. I know I dont, I buy what I can afford, if I cannot afford it with it comes out, I wait till I can and then buy it second hand on Ebay or a retailer that has it still in stock. I have no local hobby shop, nearest is over an hour away and with gas prices like they are, shipping from online shopping is much cheaper. Cheers Mike
