Most model train and hobby stores sell HO trains, but it's still a good idea to find out in advance if a certain store you're heading to sells HO. This can be done by going to the store's website, which will most likely tell what model train gauges (sizes) it sells. Besides stores, there is an abundance of HO trains available online.
