I personally think the problem isn't that only modern sells, (backdated stuff does sell), but more along the lines of "modern sells more (aka we have investors and people in suits to appease)". At the end of the day, dtg are a business and a business needs to make money. Plus there are shareholders and investors to appease, and modern appeals more to potential players. Not saying I personally only like modern stuff (because that would be a lie I like having a mix of eras), but I only ever got into tsw because I saw the Azuma in the key art to tsw4. I live near the represented area of the ecml in game and the chance to drive the train I see regularly really appealed to me. This is probably the reason dtg focus on modern stuff. Third parties like just trains have a less immediate need to appeal to the people in business suites so have more reign to do old stuff. Especially as they want to avoid completing with dtg too much. Plus their market is probably more "hard-core" (as much as I hate that word) as people buying dlc for a train sim are probably big rail fans anyway. (...am I part of the problem?...)
