The most collections in Germany are H0/00 gauge, but the collectors was not interested on this copy. The Märklin tinplate jubilee set No 0050 was loss busieness for the most Marklin seller. Marklin had made to much of them. The regular price was around 300 Euro (598 Deutschmark) in 1985. Ten years later the not sold sets was avaible in many shops for around 100 Euros. Now 35 years later, I can buy this set every weeks for a few Euros.
A few manufacturer in Germany make tinplate copies in 0 and 1 gauge, for example Hehr or Ritter, but only a few, mostly less then 100. I think, this is not enough for manufacturer like MTH.
