I want to buy a 2-8-0 and I wonder where is a reputable on line source. I asked the search function and came up with 12 totally unrelated results.
At the risk of someone saying this has been covered before, where can I browse for a good combination of price and shipping?

Trainworld/Trainland (http://www.trainworld.com/) usually has pretty good prices on locomotives.

Bruce,
I would opt for M.B. Klein. I've only ordered a few things from them. However, their prices are generally very good and their inventory is "live". For example, if there are 3 of something listed on M.B. Klein's web site and I buy one of them, when I view that item again immediately after the purchase, the inventory now says "2".

[Edit: Bruce, I just checked M.B. Klein's web site for Bachmann 2-8-0s. They have a B&O, UP, and Southern in stock.]

Me too, can't find a C.N.R. consolidation anywhere, lots of U.S. types but scarce on Hoser locomotives.
toytrainheaven, caboosehobbies, modeltrainstuff, ulrichmodels, trainworld, internethobbies, traintrack.net, are examples of places that might be able to help you out, Bruce. Dallasmodelworks, too. People say cherrycreek is good. There must be many more.
