MTH does indeed have a few selections for European locomotives. The Taurus is probably the most popular, but by no means the only choice. Built in Germany and used by many countries in Europe, the Taurus is the quintessential example of European locomotives. I scale, it is a really neat looking locomotive. There are very accurate sound systems available for them which not only replicate the locomotives distinctive sound features, but also the train announcements as well. Usually a German female voice.
That and the level of details adds to the whole affair if one is interested in European rail. As for cars, there are freight and passenger cars available for these locomotives. Many being very highly detailed and with working features.
I did a complete modern European railroad in G and had 5 Taurus locomotives. Two running counter opposing. I went for the winter theme and boy that was some nice layout I had and all on the floor of my basement.
Anyway, there are many items available in O scale.
