Well, l vote with my dollars. And l am able, for the reasons said above, to buy almost nothing from catalogs since Weaver, Williams (and that brand had the same prototype problem that l and others have said above and before), and K-line, bit the dust. Third Rail appears to be finding steam less profitable, too, with diesels more evident. I was lucky to see steam in action, but not lucky to be aging, and not lucky that people have to find a tourist road to ride behind steam, so we are not winning converts. All l can do is hang around the fringes with consists and other aspects of railroad modeling, and avoid engines l don't want.
