A new website. A cursory look suggests it's genuine enough; but these days anything can be faked, pretty much.

You can find out a little more by searching the Company's profile. It was incorporated in 2017.

Hi, I have checked for the address and the business seems to be operating out of a private house in Chinley. I think they used to have a model shop in Chapel-en-le-Frith but it closed due to a lack of passing trade.

I'm not sure that I would use them as it doesn't look like a particularly thriving business, looks more like someones part time hobby.

Thanks guys, I was doubtful, as it showed in stock let me put it in the basket and through to payment even though I recieved a e-mail telling me they were out of stock after I enquired first prior to me checking if their site would let me try to purchase it.

When looking at 'new' suppliers like this I often use Google Maps & streetview to look them up......
