1) Well, some items are, but be careful, the locomotives can be loud.
2) eBay is a good bet.

I've had good and bad experiances with trainline. One loco goes quite slowly and makes tons of noise but the others are great!

I'll have to go with uspscsx on ebay for train art.

I can't help with the Trainline question, but I might have something to help with the train art question.
I receive a couple of catalogs in the mail periodically.

One is from "Historic Rail" and has some art and decor in it that is railroad related (along with a bunch of other stuff, as well).

The website is www.HistoricRail.com

The other catalog I've received is from "Schrader's" and contains similar merchandise to that of Historic Rail.

That website is www.railroadcatalog.com and their customer service phone number is (989) 848-2225.

I hope this info helps.

You might want to keep an eye on the Walthers GP9M review (test run later) thread.

jadormdrache next time you go to a train show look for vendors that sell rail art and get a business card they usually have a web site listed and you can buy online from them
