I shop only on ebay, ‘believe or not’. In Jamaica there aren't any model RR dealers. There is a toy store however that stock a very basic starter set by Horhby in OO. <br /> <br />I can say that I got some fairly good deals even after I factor our customs charges and the sellers shipping cahrges. I bought 2 N-scale OMI P42s in the Amtrak phase 3 colour scheme. I got both of them for under US$380.00 and this is also inclusive of shipping charges. If there's better anywhere else on the internet please let me know because I need two more. <br />Shopping on ebay does require patience. To avoid getting swindled you have to also check the feedback score of the sellers. The higher the number of feedback as well as their positive feedback average is the better. I would never buy from a seller with less than 95% positive feedback. If they have a negative I would check out what the negatives were about. Added to this, if the seller also have multiple items with some ending days after the one that your purchasing that's I think is also a good sign that they won't risk messing up on your transaction. <br />Never rush into buying, check for obvious warning signs and also remember to the guidelines given by the host of ebay and you should be fine. <br />Richard
