Hornby is entirely British, while Lima used to be the other big player in the
British market before they went bust (and were bought by Hornby) The others in
the British market are Bachmann Branchline and Heljan.
Jan-Albert has mentioned the biggest companies for the rest of Europe, those
three are German and mainly model German trains, but also many other mainland
European stock.
Other manufacturers you might be able to find catalogues from include:
Electrotren (Spain) and Jouef (Germany) (both part of the Lima empire IIRC)
Heljan (Denmark) Fulgarex/Lemanco (Larger scale from all over Europe) Bemo
(Swiss Narrow guage) Mehano (eastern European)
