See also: Garden Railway Links, Other Scales and Ride OnThe suppliers listed here are ones I've used, or come across in the course of my hobby. They are listed here in roughly alphabetical order.
Brandbright
Brandbright are excellent, you can buy just about anything
to do with Garden Railways from them, and they offer good old
fashioned service. They deal mainly with 16mm/ft,
but also cater for G scale and Gauge 3. Brandbright are also
a supplier of Roundhouse
locos.

including Wilesco, Mercer, Ministeam and Jensen and a range of Stirling engines

Garden Railway Specialists
Garden Railway Specialists get
a special mention for getting me started in the hobby. These people are specialists in
G scale, and do 16mm/ft as well, and they have their own range of locomotives, largely
electrically powered. They are also stockists of LGB and loads of other G-scale suppliers.
Fans of the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railways may be interested to know that they
sell kits for "Prince", a Double Fairlie and a Beyer-Garratt K1.
