I've been getting good prices and postage/service from M B Klein, modeltrainstuff.com
I just got my order from them yesterday & had just ordered it Tuesday.
Did my first few orders with trainworldonline.com recently and wondering when they say order status: delivery does that mean its already being sent to me?
Haven't used them myself, easiest to give them a call, Ph#'s are on their home page.
The attitude of the people running trainworldonline.com is disappointing and rude won't be using them again and the way they process orders is terrible compared to the local South African online sites, they threw a tantrum when my 2 SA card wouldn't work on their site.
I will try the other websites you guys suggested on first page for my orders or my south african sites (even if they more costly).

I've actually visited the place once while visiting NYC on a vacation. The staff were aloof and rude.
Every hobby shop I have been to in the US and Canada had socially inept staff except for one place in Miami where the staff were friendly and loved to demonstrate how trains operated on their store's layout. I now don't care if staff are rude or socially inept as long as they: take back a defective item, have reasonable prices, and are well informed on what they sell. I can't stand a hobby shop where nobody knows much about the products they sell.
As for online shopping, I've dealt with companies that sell specific model railroad accessories with no problems. I've ordered from Brasstrains.com and Overlandmodels.com once and was very satisfied with the product, delivery, and service. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to buy from them as often as I would like.
Thanks for feedback thought it was just me will check out the sites you mentioned
I need to visit Miami when I visit USA again, only been to Boston/New York
I think Overland now sells more than brass.
I got this little bulldozer from them last year.
Cheers
nice looking bulldozer what scale is it? I am using HO and thinking of trying N maybe put them together in garage, still got to build the base to start it off.
It's HO scale made of pewter.
If I had the space of a garage, I'd go HO scale.
Here's a shot of me in SA visiting years ago:
Cool where in SA? (I would guess Howick Dam Railway Museum, but probably wrong) we have a few old steam loco's by us here in Natal, I love steam rides.
I will probably do an HO L shape just trying to find a layout which suits me, since so far none seem to interest me that I have found.
