I am curious. Where is the On30 market the largest?
Europe or the United States or another region?
It's only a calculated guess on my part, but I would suggest the US - due to the fact that 99% of the On30 models produced are of American outline.
It's only due to kit-bashing that the rest of the world produces some "other" outline stuff.
That's my theory, anyway.

Hello,
There is only one high volume manufacturer for On30 rolling stock in the world: Bachmann.
The Bachmann models have exclusively prototypes from US loco builders.
Also the small-series producers for On30 are predominant in the USA.
Therefore is the USA the biggest market for On30.
Too the O scale market in the USA is compared with the rest of the world the biggest one.

Australia is pretty large market in that they have some actually narrow gauge trains still running there.

I would think so because
a lot of bandwidth and ink originates out of the Land Down Under on the subject.
It is fairly obvious that the USA will have the largest market for most model railway categories simply because of the population,
Here in the UK the On30 market is quite small and not really growing, many retailers are actually reducing their stock holding of 0n30 or not stocking it at all now!,
Just another point there is a company in Australia who market quality 0n30 products Haskell. they have a website.

Although in my case 0n30 is still flourishing Just last week I have purchased 1 2-6-6-2 Mallet, 1 Whitcomb, 1 Heisler, & 1 Forney. plus a load of freight cars & Passenger cars.
