One of the UK members here - I agree with the comments about most modellers building layouts depicting their home country. It is fairly difficult to obtain US-outline models over here - not impossible but difficult, there are a few stores that stock them. Add to this that finding magazines can also be tricky - can only get MR in a couple of places near me and usually have to search for it, and Continental Modeller (Peco magazine devoted to non-UK modelling) can also be tricky to find in smaller newsagents - I've taken to placing an order so each month's is delivered with the morning papers. <br /> <br />Like previous responses, I suspect cost may well have something to do with the lack of modellers in some countries. We in the western world have the necessary free time and resources to build models and spend our money on non-essential items (though there's a strong argument that trains are essential...). Just my thoughts!
