"German Model Train Maker Goes Broke" BusinessWeek - Feb 6, 2009
Toymaker Märklin, in trouble since 2004, has declared bankruptcy but vows to continue chugging along with HO-gauge trains
How about their N scale Minitrix division?

When trying to get turnout motors for Minitrix, the guy at the shop told me that Minitrix is also "filed for bankruptcy" and that he only has very little pieces left. I could buy the missing ones at another shop, though.
Looks like most of the larger german model train companies (Märklin, Trix, Fleischmann, etc.) are involved by this chaos... We do have to wait and see what will happen, the current process may or may not restore some or all of the companies.
Ciao..
It is a shame that this keeps happening. LGB went belly up and now M=E4rk= lin seems=20 to be going that way. I hope they make it.

Since Märklin and Trix is the same company, they are involved.
Flesichmann has been taken over by Roco last year, so they aren't.
