There are model train companies like Roco and there are toy companies like Hornby.

Perhaps true but Roco were recently bankrupt whereas Hornby are making millions!
I think on the Continent in general people buy more for nationalistic reasons rather than value for money. Take cars for example: What percentage of the French market is French made? Doesn't make them the best cars though! Who would buy a merc or Beamer over a Lexus? They do in Europe and not because they are better!
