If I need styrene, cement or paint, I got to Peach Creek Shops in LAurel (The closets of the bunch).  If I need anything else, its either Chuck or MBK.  Period.

Modeltrainstuff.com is one of the few websites I've had a negative experience with.  They mispacked a few HO and O gauge walls instead of N gauge, and never responded to emails I sent about the issue.  Have stayed away since.

I had two minor issues with MBK, received incorrect item and received a damaged item in two different orders.  They were on top of both and resolved everything very fast.  Waiting now for a shipment of more MT Pullmans and some misc stuff.

MBK is my go to source after my LMRS. Love how fast they ship everithing and they always have low prices. BLW and FRT are also good recomended sources.
Which ever side of the track I am on is the right side.

  Ya gotta love Pete, Chuck and MBK my three supplyers of choice after my LHS ,MRHS Hobby in Sandy, Utah. They are also on line. About a year ago by now Pete at BLW notified me that the IM Shasta Daylight Coaches were painted in a poor color match,asked if I still wanted them or did I want to wait for a restock in hopefully improved colors. I opted for re stock and finally this week comes the notice that he is shipping them. He remembered after all this time. And Chuck sends me a neat Screw Driver Thingie with my last order, I have not recieved a bad order from MBK(I'am sure someone has) and I can walk into my LHS and purchase an MT Rio Grande Dynamometer car,some ACC and place an order from Walthers big book and Doug will usually agree to match the internet prices of competitors. What a wonderfull world it now is, I remember as a young N Gauge (it was not Scale then) modeler in the late 1960's figuring out how many days my package ordered from the huge printed list of Model Railroad Equipment Corp. in New York would take to get to me in Utah by Train (RPO Mail). Nate Goodman (Nato). Salt Lake,Utah.

Pete, I used to order from that group in NY.  Most the time I was using an FPO address and didn't know when I'd get it.  Remember the ads they placed in the varous Model RR mags.  Used to drool over them since in those days I didn't have that much to spend on the hobby.

Same experience...damaged items that were quickly replaced.
