I use www.1stplacehobbies.com for all items except locomotives because they are the cheapest and I've had good experiences with them. I purchase diesel locomotives from www.maxmodeltrains.com and www.toytrainheaven.com because they are usually the cheapest and give good customer service as well.

I buy right from my local hobby shops. If they don't have something, then I have them order.

Local hobby shop, train shows, and private sale from friends, in that order.

Auction or online vendor once in a blue moon.
