You should probably just follow the link in the second post.  However, here are my favorites:

Walthers sale items (www.walthers.com) -- stick to the sales ,and don't pay full price!

MB Klein (www.modeltrainstuff.com) -- good prices, great service, great S&H rates

Trainworld (www.trainworldonline.com) -- excellent prices, but sometimes spotty availability and a website that is almost impossible to navigate.

Dallas Model Works (www.dallasmodelworks.com) -- see previous post

Wholesale Trains (www.wholesaletrains.com) -- generally the lowest prices out there, but beware of high S&H rates, which can offset that, and sometimes long delays between ordering and shipping.

dallasmodelworks.com is great. Very personal (when needed) service and extremely reliable. The owner,

Craig is a participant on this forum.  I also like Cherry Creek Hobbies in Wyoming. These two guys get the majority of my business. Good prices and nice people.

Here's one: http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/p/144326/1603157.aspx#1603157

Found by putting "best online" (with quotes) in the search box and searching all Model Railroader forums.
