Its just a smart business decision. The WGHOT show is an open to the public event that attracts double the audience of the mostly closed to the public event in York. That 2 hall two day public admission is not providing much of a benefit for the hobby to grow. The York event is a stale show attended mainly by the same old audience year after year. In contrast the WGHOT show provides the opportunity for manufacturers to reach a fresh, new and different audience of potential NEW customers. For model train companies the decision is a no-brainer!
