Have any of the 2 rail brass companies such as Precision Scale, Overland Models, and Key Imports ever given any thought into entering the 3-rail market? I think it would be great to see other brass companies besides Sunset Models make their products available in 3-rails.
Too small of a market. I think very few modelers that want the accuracy of brass would be operating on non-prototypical 3 rail.

Yes, but the question still is - would the company make money on the offering?

SS/3rd Rail obviously does. Would the cost outweigh any profit for any of the other brass importers? Only they would know.

Three railers have deep wallets at times and there are a lot of them. Still, can an offering be done in 3 rail without having so many compromises destroying it's appeal to the 2 rail market?

That's the two big issues IMHO.
