North American Model Shops
Model Junction – Great little model shop for North American N scale. It’s been a while since I visited but still gets good reviews so it can’t have changed much. Primarily online but you can visit the unit they operate from in Slough, UK.
Wig Wag Trains – My favourite online store for North American N scale when I lived in the States. Based in New Mexico, USA.
Eurolokshop – My favourite online store for European N scale when I lived in the States. Used to have an awesome sale around Thanksgiving but often cheaper than similar suppliers in Europe at other times of year; just don’t forget to factor in taxes and exchange rates if ordering from outside the US. Based in New York, USA.
