I have mixed feelings on this. I think the modern tinplate market got pretty saturated, although there are a few things I have been trying to find for a while. I would love some new tinplate, but as locomotives go, it needs to be something better than just a new paint scheme.
I haven't really seen folks in the US displaying that gorgeous Marklin repro station, and I still see a few for sale new in the box. Granted the price point has a lot to do with that. Even if i had the cash its more like one of those things I can appreciate but not want for myself.
I think there would be some limited interest in mth quality modern repro's of Marklin, but not enough to justify the start up costs. I don't know enough about the European market to comment if such a product line would be a big seller there or not.
