Forgebeartanks.com for a start. Dave is a member of this forum. Very good for upgrades. If you are looking for slightly different tanks you could try hayaltd.com. He sells quite a range.

John, The answer to that question and to many others can be found already within the pages of the Forum, You should go to "RECOMMENDED VENDORS" for the answer to that question,
But just scroll through the "FORUM" for other information and if you cannot find an answer type the query into the Search box on the top right of this page.

I welcome the interaction between members of the Forum but it does make redundant many sections of the Forum which are packed full of the very answers that are repeatedly being sought by members and yet these areas of the Forum are obviously not the first point of reference by the questioner's, and why do we have a search engine?
I seem to be one of very few people using it. :think:
Sorry, I think I am going stir crazy. :lolno:

:crazy: :crazy: No, I'm in the same loony bin, Shaun. I often try to point new members in the direction of RCTW's search index, as well as the relevant constituent parts of the forum.
Then again, I can understand how overwhelming it can be for a newbie to enter the portals of such an esteemed, and illustrious RC forum

Yes, :shh: as it happens, Mick, aside from a decades-old collection of 'Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink' non-pc jests, I have a copious supply of (in my case... late) Mother-in-Law jokes ;)
But just so i don't deviate too far from the original query in this thread, the obvious choice for Taigen and some Heng Long bits would be Forgebear.
The obvious choice for non-PC satire, however, and jests dissing the 'snowflake' society, would be Larry David, in 'Curb your Enthusiasm'. It's outageously topical and funny...in my jaundiced, (not Jarndiced) ex-LGO opinion :lolno: :D
