Discounttrainsonline.com is where you'll definitely get the best price. Since Walthers was mentioned and has been around for decades, Walthers products can be bought at Discount for up to 20% off Walthers price.
Of course the difference between a toy train and a scale model can be a $5,000 spread for a single piece of equipment. A hobby shop is probably the easiest way to go for a toy, although the large dealers do carry toys as well.

Go to e-bay and enter union pacific in toys and hobbies. You can find H, HO and N scale cars.
Some local hobby shops may have model trains, but usually not a good selection unless you're in a big city.

Just about any hobby shop will carry them. You can look them up in the Yellow Pages, either under "Hobby Shops" or something under "Rail".
If you don't mind shelling out the few bucks, pick up a Model Railroader magazine next time you're at a newsstand, book store, or large grocery store. Near the back, they have geographical listings of hobby shops, so you should be able to find one near you.

Honestly, good luck. Ever since UP got that new attorney, they have been going after any "unlicensed" use of the up name like you wouldnt believe. Lawsuits, all the fun stuff.
If they would devote half of the energy they spend on legal issues to running a railroad instead, I might consider buying a model.

I (we with my two boys) have started our adventure as of 6 months ago and they both count the days of the week waiting for the weekend to go and do “our” thing. Thanks to this site http://tinyurl.com/ModelTrainsBeginnersR , staff, site and books, I was able to quickly get up to speed on the latest technologies and techniques without spending days if not weeks on the web to look for it (and most likely not finding all that you have provided).
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this hobby is still so active since I have not touched my boxes of trains since packing up the layout my father did with me in 1975. I can only imagine the hours needed to keep up with all of what you are doing and I salute you in your mission.
My two boys are saved from the video game frenzy for now but its up to the parents and grandparents of this generation to help the next generation. This site help us do what we can do better and we all have fun and at the same time educate our children…
