Hobby Stores, some of my favorite hobby stores that have websites:
Beckers Model Railroad Supply - Located in New Brighton, Beckers is one of the metro's best hobby stores with a
healthy inventory and great discounted prices. If it isn't in stock, Bill can normally get it pretty quickly for you.

Baker's Hobby Emporium - The last surviving hobby store in the St. Cloud area, Baker's has expanded their inventory
in the last couple of years. Stocked with a nice selection of Digitrax products to compliment their fair selection of trains.

Perry's Hobby - I've never visited their store (which is located in a grocery store in Morgan, I've heard they have a nice
inventory), Perry's normally has a good showing at many regional hobby shows with excellent prices and selection.

Whole Sale Trains - The prices are hard to beat, but shipping can be a little slow and a little spendy. Look at what you
are getting and factor in the shipping before you brag about how good of a deal you got.
