My local hobby store Caboose Hobbies was items for a large number of scales and a great place to stop by if you are ever in town.
David Karp has a good website to get you started: zscale.org. It has links to different manufacturers as well as different dealers. I personally use zscalemonster.com, but there are several places out there that are great! Ztrains is also another great place to visit starting out, as well as Ztrack Magazine Welcome to Z scale!!

Z Scale Monster is a great online place for Z. They seem to carry everything, and at a great discount too! -Robert
www.featherrivertrains.com www.zscalemonster.com www.alancurtismodels.com (click on "Ready to Run") www.texnrails.com www.nscalesupply.com www.some train store.com Just a few. Hope these help. eBay used to be good, but there's not a lot of bargains to be found on there these days, though some sellers are using it as their storefront, and pricing is usually competitive. Have fun, Bryan
I also recommend Anthony @ www.ZScaleMonster.com out of Vermont (quick ship to RI). For Marklin I go to Jan Eisen's store: http://www.eisentrains.com He is authorized Marklin dealer and will order whatever you like if he doesn't already have it in stock. He is in the Detroit area (I think Wayne, MI). For MTL there is also Loren Snyder who is on the Yahoo Z Scale forum. Although I haven't dealt with him on anything, he is a heck of a nice guy and people I know who have worked with him have nothing but praise. Andy of Shawnee Railroad is making some new custom run MTL stuff. It is on Ebay (trainnut88). Best, Michael
Yes, they do, but you have to go directly to the micro-trains part of the web site. They carry the monthly releases in Z, but they do not have any other companies.
I like Z scale monster, also BLW was pretty good. I think Ill start with Z scale monter. I can get an engine, power pack and an oval of track for about $200 shipped.
Another addition: www.4nscale.com Yes, they also carry Z. I just found myself a couple of the CPRail gondolas that no one else seems to have anymore. Keep 'em coming! Bryan
Might be worth checking into... Also, Feather River Train Shop is an EXCELLENT place to buy.... Same goes for Wig-Wag, LLC. Both will order Z, and prices are very competetive.
I found that Chuck at Feather River Trains and Mark at Rio Grande Hobbies ( 4Nscale) have a good inventory of Z scale supplies. Stay cool and run steam.....
I personally use zscalemonster.com too. Anthony is a nice person and he answers really fast. Regards Jürg
I am building a list of online stores here: Z Scale Online Stores They are sorted by popularity. You can also "rate" each store. Here is a list of top "Ebay Stores" also. Z Scale Ebay Stores -Brad
