Hi Hunter and welcome to the forum.
Forest Classics is pretty good and they will post and they sell Wilesco fair ground rides.
Here is their website, give them a call and see if they can help.

I'm in Australia but my mother-in-law lives just outside Durham so I know Durham fairly well.

I've not used them but other people here have and I think some people here have said he is a bit slow in shipping sometimes.

I've used Chas at Paper'n' Steam and found him to be very promt.  Always best to get him on the phone.

I think he has been slow in the past to catch up with e-mails (it's that damn modern technology you see!!).

Welcome to the forum by the way

I have, and my main gripe was postage to OZ for multiple items.

Being in the UK, and buying one item, you should be fine  

My main dealer is forest

It's a small world   - I lived just outside the city in "Shincliffe Village" for 15 years before moving to our present home in SW Scotland. Kate, my wife was born and raised in Durham City!

How about you Hunter and tmuir? Where in Durham are/were you?
...and to the Forum Hunter!

I was born in Australia but obviously with a surname of Muir I have Scottish Heritage, I still have relatives living in my great grandfathers house which he gave to them in the 60s when he emmigrated to OZ to join his sons who had been out here since the 20s.

My Mother-in-law is acutally from Scotland but in the 80s they bought  a large place in Bishop Auckland, that house has since been sold and she now lives in Langley Moor still near Durham.
I was there about 1 1/2 years ago and will be there again in another year or so.

That's a charmer.   Gee, the makers could use that for a selling picture.
It shows to absolute newbies like myself how practical it is to make a fun, attractive grouping of like-toys.

It is an idea-maker, that board.  Well done!

Thanks
