As said above, try Model Junction or Team Track Trading, if they don't have what u need then order from Highball Graphics or Walthers in the US both give great service. I have also purchased from Microscale, BLMA, Cannon, Moloco, and HiTech direct and have got excellent service. Not used M G Sharp for a while, went to their shop in Sheffield about 12 months ago and vas shocked to see how little stock they had. For Kadee stuff I use Model Junction or P&H Models (a quick search in Google usually works to find them). For paint I always try Model Junction 1st, otherwise I go direct to Walthers.

I'd concur with Highball Graphics or Walthers (v happy customer of both). Don't forget that Model Junction are an authorised Walthers dealer so you can order on the Walthers website for delivery to MJ

 

 

If you're desperate for something Caboose Hobbies ship by DHL so you'll get it in a week but pay for it as well!

If you are getting into loco detailing then (if you haven't already) look at the 'Diesel Detailer' and 'Proto Modeler' forums. The Proto Modeler forum can be a little 'heavy' at times but are a mine of info on doing up locos & stock

 

But don't forget to post your projects up here for us to see first!! :)

Railmodel Journal might show what you want. Start with:

http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/browse?search=&title=1&year=0&order=creation_date&page=&tag=&start_date=&end_date=

 

But I can’t find the indices. Maybe because:

http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/model-train-magazine-contents/480/railmodel-journal-november-1994 No contents have been indexed for this magazine issue.

 

So, view the full magazine content.

 

Anyway, there is usually one in each issue; ‘… Diesels, one detail at a time …’

EMD SD45-2 as EL 3679 is on http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/481/35088/december-1994-page-30

or

GE U25B as MILWAUKEE ROAD 5000 is on http://www.trainlife.com/magazines/pages/480/34992/november-1994-page-14

I phoned them the other day and they were very helpful and had in stock what I needed. I do believe that this may not be Jason's only income source, so it might just have been that he was otherwise engaged. May be best to e.mail him first. This is what I did, to ensure he had in stock what I was after, and he did e.mail me back.

cheers been trying the phone at the specified times since thursday

I know that Jason runs a Road Haulage business in the Midlands so is often away from home during the week and that he is often busy with family stuff in the few days he is at home each week.

 

Cheers
