I am seeing references in the Brawa, Piko, Roco, and Marklin catalogs for items marked EUROTRAIN.
Just what is EUROTRAIN?

Must be so common in EU that nobody sees the need to explain it.[:p]

Eurotrain is an association symbol used by stores and companies that specialize in model trains, or "idee+spiel"(ideas+play) stores that have a large selection of model trains and related supplies. Model train manufactures make items just for members of the association and those you will see with the Eurotrain marking.

Very informative. Thank you.

Now the hard part -- How do I order these from Texas? (or anywhere outside of DE [xx(])

My favorite shops (Reynaulds and Modellbahn-Kramm) do not seem to carry these models. Anyone have a list of EUROTRAIN shops with web sites?

Update: I did find some (Brawa) models listed. Are there limits on selling to shops outside DE?

Well, John has a point but on the other hand I am not surprised to see Eurotrain charging list.
But the site says that they also have exclusive items only sold through Eurotrain stores. I do not know how exclusive or desirable those item are such as the Brawa 0716 or the Maerklin freight cars. But for such an item it may be worth to find a eurotrain store that does do mailing.
The site, however, does allow online ordering and it gives you the choice between Deutschland or Ausland (Foreign Countries) as shipping destination. So you may be able to ship to Texas.

And proud of it!

Thank you for all your replies. I now understand EXACTLY what EUROTRAIN is.....marketing hype. Sort of like MHI, "Made only in year XXXX" or "one time series", but for Brawa, Roco, et al.[:p]
