If I was to go out today to buy a Hobby I would go to what was J & G Trading in Dunfries in Scotland, which is now Joe Horsfall & Partners..They have been at it a long time and couple of friends of mine have had vans from them and the aftersales backup was 1st class. http://jgtradingco.co.uk/ Cheers Hobbynut
