Hi Mike, Marklin Gauge 1 is still being made and with companies like KM 1 producing high quality, high end items  Gauge 1 has properly never seen better times.

Marklin LGB production is centered in Gyor, Hungary, halfway between Vienna and Budapest. I have been there a couple of times and the quality is very good. Marklin still has its headquarters in Goeppingen, and in my opinion, has seen an improvement since being taken over by the Simba-Dicky group. Miketg

I think only the really large dealers in the states like Reynaulds carried the gauge 1 stuff.  There is also a newer player in the gauge one live steam market, Bowande/Wuhu out of China.  Models from the USA/Germany and UK have been done in live steam with proper valve gear, correct number of cylinders like on 3 and 4 cylinder engines ect.    They run better than most of the gauge one live steam from Marklin which was done for them by Regner in recent years.   I have several of the old Marklin Maxi gauge 1 tinplate items in my collection.    AD
