It seems like part of the problem with MTH "G" gauge was doing the products in true "1" (1/32) scale rather than the well established rubber scales (1:20, 1:22.5, 1/29, 1/24...) running on "G" gauge track.
I think there's a waiting market in S for structures and other lineside items, along with the trains. S verions of RailTown structures should do well.
