Model Railroad 'Friendly' Hobby Shops:
'Friendly' meaning they stock model railroading supplies......
In and around Yuma shops and supplies:
While not in Yuma, close enough (60 miles) for a trip instead of ordering online. A limited selection of train items, plenty of other hobby supplies.
While Michael's does not carry any railroad specific items, they do stock stripwood, adhesives, paints, tools and various forms of scenery supplies. Not to forget their 50% off coupons!
A little further from Yuma
An Affair with Trains- North Central Phoenix
Selection of all scales and supplies. Recently moved in with another store and shop now offers all styles of hobby materials.
A true model railroad shop. Great selection, nice web site and helpful staff.
Reed's Hobby Shop- San Diego (La Mesa)
Another true model railroad store. Reed's stocks all scales and supplies. Well worth the stop.
Walther's: The almost total railroad supplier. Web site takes a little effort to find things but they have almost everything.
Nicest web site, one of the largest model railroad stores in America.
